Hi akka, I’m Priyanka I’m trying for a job in cybersecurity for SOC analyst role. Today morning around 4-5am, I got a dream where a girl named godha took me out for Pooja (I think it’s godhamma as I recently completed godha ranganatha vratham to get a good and understandble husband ) there are 3 compartments 1.Rama&Sitamma parivar 2.Raghavendra swamy 3. Krishna & Rukminiamma, Godha amma 1st asked me to worship Rama parivar and she asked me to recite Kalyanam – stotram(given by or related to Raghavendra swamy) near Raghavendra swamy idol, I recite Rukmini kalyanam lekha everyday but I don’t know about this stotram, can you help me in finding this akka? Or any other family members in this blog?
I really feel it’s divine blessings to get that dream but need your help in understanding it akka.
Posted by meeraghu on January 18, 2024 at 10:09 am
Hi Lakshmipriyanka, wonderful dream. Being in the Cybersecurity field is indeed an amazing field. Best of Luck. As far as I know, Rayaru has not written any compositions on Kalyanam. A little confused about that. Maybe the dream is referring to also recite Rayaru stotra and than pray to Ram Parivar? I am not able to help much here, maybe others who read this comment can comment.

Madam namaste..
I feel very proud to see exclusive madva site. Where everything is available at one place.
I was recently listening to kangaled yatako kaaveri rangana devaranaama by vidu ranjani and Gayatri.. they have even sung an ugabhoga along with the devaranaama.. but that ugabhoga seem to be incomplete without Ankita.. it will be very beneficial if you can send the complete ugabhoga if you come accross..
Ugabhoga is as follows:
Aadi madhyanta Kshetra vilaasa
Kaaveritheera susthira vaasa
Sri ranganaatha bhakta posha
Ninna darushanave enna kangalige lakshya.

Hello ma’am
Can I keep the Raghavendra Swamy idol in my room (or house)?
and am traveling often at work, so how should I do daily pooja? (if I keep idol)
I love to do all Panchamrtha abhisheka poojas.
If I keep the Swamy idol what are the things I should do or follow
Please please help me with this.
Thank you.
Posted by meeraghu on December 24, 2020 at 2:33 pm
Manish, I already replied. what kind of idol? House you mean Pooja room? Yes, you can. There is a procedure for Abhisheka. Not sure what traditions you follow. Based on that you will have to follow.
Posted by questkelvi on November 4, 2020 at 11:08 pm
A number of healthy veggies like carrots, tomatoes, cauliflower, eggplants, radish etc are prohibited for Madhwas.
Curious to know the rationale behind this.
Thank you
Posted by Shreesha on November 24, 2020 at 1:53 am
1. They are classified as “taamasa” food which is supposed to trigger negative thoughts. They are classified as negative because they deviate our mind from God and divert it to material pursuits. But I don’t understand how and why exactly it triggers negative thoughts.
2. Tomatoes are recently known to affect kidneys. I am not sure about the others you listed but perhaps they may have side effects too. The pattern here is that these vegetables are mixed with unhealthy components. However they are not that harmful if used once in a while.
3. More than anything else they are not eligible for “naivedya” as per shastras for whatever reason and one should not consume anything which is not offered to God and hence the ban.
This being said I honestly feel that there are other factors which supersede the food habits which makes a man good or bad. I have seen many good hearted non vegetarians and jerky vegetarians.
Posted by meeraghu on November 24, 2020 at 12:46 pm
I used to be of the opinion that being born a Madhwa and a brahmin we are very good, life thought me otherwise. Madhwa or not, brahmin or not, you are good bad or ugly no matter your religion. Especially saw that when my mom lost her life. Close relatives and very devout madhwas behaved worse than any character you have ever seen or heard. I have stopped looking at religion to see if someone is good, bad or utmost ugly.
Posted by Jayanthi on November 25, 2020 at 12:46 am
I am madhwa , I have worst experience with my relatives too . They prefer to refrain themselves in all good or bad situations.

AKHANDA DEEPA STOTRA: I understand that there is a stotra called the Akhanda Deepa Stotra. Would it be possible to get the wordings of the same? Thank you.
Posted by Jayanthi on October 19, 2020 at 11:28 am
Happy Navratri to all friends 😊.
Golu is the artistic display of dolls and figurines on multiple steps,usually 3, 5, 7, 9, or 11 tiers.Many homes in the southern states of India—Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, display these colorfully decorated dolls during the nine days of Navaratri. Bommai Kolu in Tamil means Devine presence. Bommala Koluvu in Telugu means Court of Toys and Bombe Habba means doll festival in Kannada.
These displays are typically based on some theme, representing ancient stories, depicting scenes from Ramayan, Bhagavad Gita and other Hindu mythological texts. As the story goes ,when Goddess Durga set out to fight Mahisha sura, all the Gods and Goddesses helped her by lending their powers to her. Without their powers, they became statues or ‘dolls’. With all the collective power on the 10th day of battle, Goddess Durgha finally triumphed over the evil Mahisha sura.
This is celebrated as Dassehra and to pay homage to the Gods and Goddesses who became ‘dolls’ by giving their powers away, the doll festival started.
On the auspicious day of Amavasya, the preparations start by setting up the steps, arranging the dolls, decorating the homes with flowers and Rangolis. The nine days of Navaratri start the next day and end on the tenth, on Vijayadasami the day of victory. All these nine days prasad and prayer offered to the god. Family and friends are invited. Women exchange betel leaves, betel nuts, fruits, flowers, bangles, turmeric, and kumkum among themselves .Shlokas are chanted by kids and other elder family members, Sraswathi Pooja, the goddess of knowledge and learning. On that day, books are offered to the goddess to get blessings. The tenth day which is Vijaya dashami, is considered an auspicious day to start something new be it new ventures, journeys or learning new skills.
AKHANDA DEEPA / NANDA DEEPA.
Many orthodox families keep Akanda deepa during Navaratri. In Karnataka it is called Nanda Deepa. On the first day Navaratri or on the day of Mula Nakshtra deepa will be lit in an auspicious Muhurtha after doing Shankalpa.
The akand jyoti should be kept burning throughout the nine days.
While lighting the lamp you may chant vedic hymns or following simple stotra may be recited.
“Bho Deepa Devi roopaswa thwam karma sakahi avighnakruth
Yavath puja samapthisyath thavathwam susthiro bhava”.🙏🏻
Posted by meeraghu on October 19, 2020 at 12:54 pm
Thanks for the information and the Stotra.

Dear Meera,
I’m very sorry for your loss. It is an irreplaceable and unbearable loss, I pray to Rayaru to give you the strength to get through it all. From what I have learnt after my parents’ passing away, it is cherishing the moments that we had with them that makes those that we don’t so much bearable.
Having said that, and praying for you, I would like to profusely thank you for your blog. I lost my mother very early, and had none to help with any authentic, traditional Madhwa recipes. I’m immensely grateful to you for posting these recipes to help innumerable people like me! Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤ (is only an understatement).

Hello Ma’am, On behalf of Sri Bemmatti Venkatesha Acharya – Direct disciple of Sri Vishwesha Teertharu – I hereby am making a request. Sri Bemmatti Venkatesha Acharya has published 30 books detailing on how to perform Devara Pooja (complete, step-by-step instructions as per Madhwa tradition), how to perform festival poojas (around 50 important festivals as per Madhwa tradition, step by step guide), including a cook book detailing how to prepare foods for that respective festivals, etc. There are complete details on “madi achara” for both men and women. This is an excellent book for madhwaru looking to perform Devara Poojas and Festival Poojas as per Madhwa tradition, with Pramanas from Puranas and Shrutis. The books are still in the pre-publication stage. In order to cover the costs for the books, they are eagerly looking for buyers. If you can post this message to all your followers, it would be a great seva to Harivayu gurugalu. The pre-publication booking cost is 2000 rupees. I can give you more details on this. Kindly consider this a seva for Harivayu gurugalu and please post this to all your followers. Please try this YouTube link to give you a sample of Acharyaru’s knowledge and more details on the books. Hare Srinivasa

Dear Bhandhugalu, Hare Srinivasa, Namaskara.
When is Chathur Maasa?
The eleventh day in Ashada Shudda ekadashi(Shayanaikadashi) , is the day that Sri naarayana, even though he is sleepless, hungerless, pretends to sleep, which is termed as “Yoga Nidra”. He sleeps till Karthika Shudda Dwadashi (Uttana Dwadashi)
Chaturmasya starts from Ashada Shudda Dwadashi and ends on Kartikha Shudda dashami
.chaturmasya comprises of the Hindu lunar months of Shravana, bhadrapada, Ashvayuja and karthIka.
Shaka vratha
Ashada Shudda Ekadashi to Shravana Shudda Dashami
Why should we observe Chathur Maasa?
Observing Chaturmasya gets more punya than the other vrathas.
Who Should observe this Vrata?
Chaturvarnaas(Brahmana, Kshatriya, Shudra, Vaishya)
Chatur Ashramas( Brahmachari, Gruhasta, Vanaprasta and Sanyasi)Women even in Menstruation cycle
What is the procedure to Perform this vrata?
On Ashada shukla ekadashi (called shayani ekadashi) one should get tapta-mudra-dharane ( Note : Due to Covid 19 Virous this year Tapta Mudra Dharana Is cancelled in all Muts )
You should take an oath(Sankalpa) on dvadashi that you will observe chaturmasya with the objective of pleasing Lord Hari
In the first month you should observe shaka vrata
In the second month you should observe dadhi vrata
In the third month you should observe kshira vrata
In the fourth month you should observe dvidala vrata
Chant the following mantra while doing the damodara pooja
Deva deva, jagannatha, lakshmi damodara prabho.
Chaturmasye tvayajnaptah, krutva vrata chatushtayam|

NAVARATHRI FROM 10TH OCT .ASPICIOUS PERIOD FOR SETTLING MARRIAGES.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VAHA MARRIAGE INFORMATION CENTER, BANGALURU & CHENNAI.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Navratri is the sacred and joyous festival of the Hindu community of India. Observed over a period of nine nights, the festival is famous for its religious and social importance. It is devoted to the worship of the divine Mother in various forms under different names by different people.The most important purpose is Loka-kshemam (Universal welfare). When people focus all their energies on the divine – chanting, praying, singing,
Navratri has a spiritual message for its observers. This nine-day festival celebrates the triumph of good over evil and exhorts mankind to wake up from the slumber of ignorance, remove all negativities, purify the mind and cultivate positive virtues.
Nava means “nine” and “ratri” means night. During the nine-night long festival of Navratri the supreme female cosmic power or Goddess Shakti is worshipped in her variously manifested forms as Durga, Laxmi and Saraswati. All three Goddess are the incarnations of Goddess Shakti (the Mother Goddess). The festival signifies power, wealth, prosperity and knowledge.
On the first three nights Durga is invoked for her strength and ferocity which are required to cut out from the mind it’s strong rooted, deep-seated negative tendencies.
On the next three nights, Goddess Laxmi is worshipped. For the knowledge of self-realization to dawn on us, we have to first prepare our minds.
The final three nights are spent in the invocation of Goddess Saraswati. Victory over the mind can be gained only through the proper knowledge and thorough understanding; Goddess
The Ninth day of Navaratri is celebrated as Ayudha pooja
The festival concludes in Dusshera or Vijayadasami. According to popular belief, Dussehra celebrates the victory of Goddess Durga over the wicked demon Mahishasura
GOLU & iTS SIGNIFICANCE
Bommai Golu or Kolu is a Tamizh word that refers to the practice of the display of dolls during the Navaratri festival. Contextually and symbolically it can also be understood to mean “Divine Presence”Known as “Bommala Koluvu” in Telugu and “Bombe Habba”
The pride of place on the Golu-padi is reserved for the “Kalasham” or the “Kodam” because it is in the Kalasham that Ambal is invoked and it is in the Kalasham that she resides during Navaratri.
The Golu is arranged on a “Golu-Padi” (Padi = steps). Usually 9 steps are built but odd numbers of 3, 5, and 7 are also seen. However 9 is the ideal number. The nine steps could be taken to refer to the nine ways of worshipping Ambal – “swarnam, kirthanam, smaranam, paadasevanam, archanam, vandhanam, dasyam, sakyam, atmasevadhanam” They are also representative of the Nava grahas, nine planets (nine planets as per the Hindu astrological almanac which includes the shadowy planets – Rahu and Kethu). From the bottom to the top the size of the steps progressively get shorter, with the top most step being the shortest – symbolically telling us how we must keep narrowing our focus in order to progress in our sadhana. The arrangement of dolls should also follow the pattern of progressive complexity with the dolls of Shiva, Vishnu, Devi etc. occupying the top most position, with the avatara-purushas and the Rishis occupying the next lower steps and so on.
Marapachi dolls made of red-sandal-wood or silk-cotton-wood, or rose-wood are traditional dolls that are the first to go up onto the golu padi. They are the male-female”pair-dolls” and are handed down from mother to daughter

Dear Meera,
Iam Nanda Ramesh, a business management expert from Bangalore.My Granny Smt.Seeta Bai Rama Rao, when she was 85 felt she has to pass on all the recipes of Madhwas which has been passed on to her from her ancestors.
Every day evening we would sit and document it for almost one year and before dictating she would try out each recipe to make sure nothing is missed out. I was able to document and create a Kannada Ebook named “SHUCHI-RUCHI”.
It has already reached 1000s all over the world. Your blog is an excellent one and if you post it on your blog, many will be benefited. Its a great boon to madhwas in particular and all vegetarians in general. Iam in the process of creating an english version. My granny is no more. Send your id so that I can mail it to you.
You are doing a great job. Whenever you are in Bangalore lets touch base.

Sri Krishna Mantra Japa in Aadhika Masa ( Purushothama Masa )
———————————————————————————–
VIVAHA MARRIAGE INFORMATION CENTER, BANGALORE & CHENNAI.
———————————————————————————–
In Adkia Masa we have to do some dhanas compulsorily during this period. The religious rituals help us to get rid of our sins.Generally the dhanas given are thambula, deepa, apopa, fruits, gajavasthram, anna, vasthra, rava laddu or anything else you can. We have to give these items in the count of 33
Even any one of the above Dharana is not possible to do,Acaryaru says at least chant daily these Krishna mantra for 33 times.It will equalise all the above.
” govardhana dharam vande, gopalam gopa rupinam !
gokulutsava me isanam, govindam gopika priyam !! ”
Meaning :“I worship the lifter of Govardhana Hill, Who has the beautiful form of a cowherd boy, and who continually plays with the gopas. He is the Lord of Gokula wherein everyday is a festival.”

To day EAKADHASI.Tommorow , (March 14, 2018) is SRAVANA DWADASI . It is usual to fast on Ekadasi and do Paaranai (break the fasting) on dwadasi thithi. But during the Sravana Dwadasi which is very auspicious and occurs once year, it is recommended to perform fasting on that Sravana Dwadasi day
and do Paaranai on trayodasi, the next day.

Hi Madam, Greetings! your blog is very nice. One will get this idea only when Sri Gururayara bless the selected ones. Not everyone can do with this much interest. To say about Sri Rayaru…can’t realize(beyond science) how he will know; my true experience. God Bless! My favorite songs are many, ‘Balakanagi banda noodu; yaava dumbige yaava hoovu…” & i also like ‘vande vandyam sadanandam vasudevam nirajanamh’ finally i would like to say…’I bow down to the three acharyas, who has shown us the path of living a happy life by following the ways they have shown us…

I am going into blog development, and I was looking through the WordPress themes on the development website. I am trying to create a blog with nice borders for pictures, borders for all the widgets like “Recent Posts” or “Blog Stats,” a colorful background, and graphics like the ones you have that tell the dates you make your posts.
Can you tell me how to get these features? Thanks!

Hari Sarvothama ! Sri Gurubhyo Namaha: Vayu Jeevothama !!
” SRIMAN MADHWACHARYARU ” MADHWA NAVAMI ON 5TH FEB.’17
Sri Madhvacharya was born in the year 1238 A.D, on the Vijayadashami day of the month of Aswayuja in a village about three miles from Udupi in South Canara. His father was a pious brahmin belonging to Bhagavata Sampradaya and a pauranic by profession. Sri Madhvacharya was born at a late period in his father’s life after constant prayer and dedication of vows to Ananteswara in Udipi.
Madhyageha Bhatta, the father, was therefore happy and proud in no ordinary degree in his son whom he christened Vasudeva. Boy Vasudeva was very precocious and his father taught him the three Rs in the privacy of his house. Not even had the boy attained his teens, when he felt an inner urge he could not resist, to taking to the holy orders and took sanyasa under Achutaprekshacharya in Udipi.
Achutaprekshacharya had been brought up in the then current Adwaita school of thought but the philosophy of that school did not appeal to the new sanyasi. Achutaprekshacharya was somewhat displeased with his new disciple but he was however very much impressed with the earnestness, and scholarship of his disciple whom he had named as Purnaprajna. Purnaprajna thereupon began to preach his own philosophy according to which the world is real, the individual souls are different from Brahman, and Vishnu is the Highest Entity in the universe. Many a pandit and scholar of other schools came to him for debate and went back defeated by his keen and irrefutable logic. Purnaprajna, in order to propagate his faith undertook a pilgrimage to various shrines in South India and the pilgrimage was also an opportunity to meet opponents of other schools in the different places. Immediately after he returned from the pilgrimage Purnaprajna wrote the commentary on BhagavadGita. The Gita Bhashya (commentary on the Gita ) is the first work of the Acharya.
Seven years after he took to holy orders Purnaprajna commenced a pilgrimage to the North where he touched Benares, Allahabad, Dwaraka, Delhi and other places and reached the famous Badrikshetra. He composed the Brahmasutra Bhashya at this place and went further North alone, all by himself, to the depths of Himalayas, where Sri Vedavyasa is said to have his abode.. On his return journey Purnaprajna came to the banks of Godavari and had debates with two eminent and scholarly pandits Sobhana Bhatta and Samasastry belonging to Adwaita school.
The Pandits were defeated in the debate and with the conviction of the truth of the school of philosophy expounded by Purnaprajna, both of them became his disciples taking up Sanyasa. Shobana Bhatta became the famous Padmanabhatirtha who succeeded to the pontifical seat of Purnaprajnacharya. Samasastry became Narahari Thirtha and at the behest of the acharya stayed behind to obtain the images of Mula Rama and Sita from the treasury of the local prince. Padmanabha Tirtha followed his master and was greatly devoted to him.
After his return to Udipi Purnapragna began to write various works establishing the new system of philosophy which has come to be called Dwaitasiddhanta. The cardinal point which distinguishes his system from others is the essential difference between Brahman who is Independent and all else which are dependent. This system has therefore come t be called Dwaitasiddhanta (the philosophy of Basic difference), Purnaprajnacharya declares himself at the end of many of his works to be an avatar of the Wind God Vayu and says that his avatar as Purnaprajna has been foretold in the srutis where he has been called Madhva. Purnapragnacharya is therefore popularly known as Sri Madhvacharya. The Acharya founded the Sri Krishna temple at Udipi and established eight mutts, the sanyasis of which has to worship the image by rotation. The system of rotation has continued until the present da at Udipi. Sri Madhva wrote commentaries or Bhashyas on the ten principal Upanishads, the special treatises called Prakaranas ten in number, the Gita Tatparya and other works during this period.
Sri Madhvacharya under took the second tour to the north again. He met Jalaluddin Khilji at Delhi and seems to have conversed with him in Urdu. After returning from North he spent the rest of his life in Udipi occasionally visiting a place called Vishnumangala near Udipi. During one of his visits to Vishnumangala he had to meet a reputed champion of the Adwaita school by name
Trivikramapanditacharya. The debate between them seems to have extended to fifteen days and covered all the different systems of philosophy like the Bauddha, Sankhya, Nyaya and Adwaita.
In the end Trivikramapanditacharya has to admit defeat. He was very much impressed with the Acharya and became his disciple having renounced Adwaita and accepting the Dvaita sidhanta. The conversion of Pandita Trivikrama was a great moral victory for the Acharya and many were the new adherents to his system. Trivikrama Panditacharya became so devoted the Acharya He wrote the commentary known as Tatvapradipa on the Brahmasutra Bhashya of Sri Madhwacharya. At his request Sri Madhvacharya wrote a metrical commentary on the Brahmasutras which is famous as Anuvyakhyana.
Sri Madhvacharya had many disciples belonging to the Sanyasa ashrama and many disciples who were house holders. He vanished from the sight of men in his eightieth year in the month of Magha on the 9th day of the bright fortnight while he was teaching the Aitareya Upanishad Bhashya to his disciples. A shower of flowers is said to have rained on him and he vanished from the sight of men in the shower of flowers.
Sri Madhvacharya has written in all thirty seven works. and they are collectively called Sarvamula. Four of his works are on Brahmasutras, two on Bhagavad Gita, ten are the commentaries on ten Upanishads, one on the Mahabharata and one on the Bhagavata in order to determine their import and ten are the prakaranas. The Rigbhashya is a commentary on the Rigveda (for a few typical Riks). Seven of his works are of the Stotra type. Nobody can fail to be impressed by his works. His method is very brief and simple. His logic is infallible and energetic. The depth of his scholarship is seen in the profuse ness range and variety of quotations from various religious texts. His familiarity with the Upanishadic, puranic, tantric and other literature is in ample evidence in all his works. He is singularly free from the use of alankaraprayoga and he is very matter of fact in all his arguments.
The Brahmasutra Bhshya of the Acharya possesses in full measure the characteristics a Bhashya should possess. (A words in which the meaning of the sutras is explained by words similar to those in the sutras and in which the author explains his own words is called a Bhashya.) Accordingly the Brahmasutra Bhashya of the Acharya of Sri Madhvacharya is a very brief and precise composition in contrast with the Bhashyas of the Acharyas of the other systems. Sri Madhvacharya however reserves polemical treatment of the Brahmasutras to be effective in Anuvyakhyana. The commentaries on the Upanishads are peculiar and philosophical hosts in themselves. Sri Madhvacharya invariably quotes appropriate puranic and Vedic literature and samhitas with purport to to explain the Upanishadic passages.
The direct disciples of Sri Madhvacharya, viz. Padmanabha Tirtha, Narahari Tirtha, Trivikramapanditacharya and others have written commentaries on his works. These are called Prachina tikas. They were followed by the brilliant commentaries of Jayatirtha who is famous as Tikacharya. Jayathirtha has written commentaries on almost all the works of Sri Madhvacharya. In particular the commentary on Anuvyakhyana called “Nyayasudha” is famous as a commentary of the highest merit. The works of Jayathirtha have been commented upon by many later scholars of whom Vyasarja and Raghavendra Tirtha are well known.

Sri Raghavendra swamy Bhakti Prachara Peetha at Auckland, NZ was founded by Smt. Savitri Bai Bhupala who migrated from Hyderabad, India long back. You must have read in Volume 5 of Raghavendra Mahimai about silver brindavana in Ramakrishnapuram (Alakapuri) Mutt and the miracle of Rayaru. Also in Volume 9 you must have read about a great Rayar devotee Poojya Tupsakri Dwaipayanachar on whom 3 chapters were written. In that also you will find about Smt. Savitri Bai. Sri Dwaipayanachar was Guruji for both of us. You must be knowing Smt.Savitri Bai. Otherwise you may contact thro email: savibh@yahoo.com to find devotees to receive the tamil books available with you. The website of the Peetha is not opening and perhaps become defunct.

“Abramama Bhanga Raghitham, Ajadam Vimalam Sadha !
Srimad Anandha Theertha Mathulam Baje Thapatrayapakam !!
Madhvacharya (1238-1317 C.E.) – Dashami Tithi of Ashwin Shukla Paksha is celebrated as Sri Madhva Jayanti or Madhvacharya Jayanthi. Sri Madhvacharya was born on the auspicious day of Vijaya Dashami (which is also known as Dussehra) in 1238 C.E. at Pajaka, a tiny hamlet near Udupi..
Madhvacharya was the proponent of Dvaita Vedanta. It regards Brahman and individual souls as eternal and mutually separate entities. Hence the philosophy of Dvaita Vedanta is based on principles of dualism which is opposite to philosophy of Advaita Vedanta and Vishishta Advaita Vedanta.
The philosophy of Dvaita Vedanta is also known as Tattvavada – the Philosophy of Reality. It identifies God with Brahman completely and in turns with Vishnu or his various incarnations.

Hello Madam,
I am a regular visitor to your page and it is highly informative. I am a madhwa brahmin and follow our customs and traditions religiously. Ma’am, kindly provide me the lyrics for the following Parvathi devi song. I have been searching the internet for old songs (my gradma was singing)and still no success.
1. Amba Palise Jagadhamba Palise
Also, request you to give me more songs on Goddess Parvathi for the upcoming Gowri habba.
Thanks and regards,
Sneha

Hello,
I recently received a request for charitable donation from SRS Mutt from my sister. I thought it might be a good opportunity for anyone interested. My sister’s name is Chandrika Murthy and her phone # in Bangalore is 9880307753. She can also be reached via e-mail rnprasad21@gmail.com. The swamiji of the matha is wanting to make a golden mantapa for Sri Rama Devaru. I have a flyer but I dont know how to upload.
Thanks very much.

Dear Meera, I am Latha Ranganathan writing this mail from India, Tamil Nadu, Chennai.
Couple of days back, I had a dream, that there was a Sumanaglai gathering at a place. It looked like a Mutt. Beside was Sri Hanuma (like Vyasarajaru Prasidhta), and we were all trying to sing dasara pada…
You stoodup, looked at everyone and asked who knows the song on Rayaru “KARADARE BARA BARADE” (Song by Jagannada dasaru on Rayaru).
Immediately I respond and raise my hand and say that I know (None of the others respond).
And you ask me to sing which I did…
It was really amazing dream. I use to see your Blog almost every day…
Sri Gurubyo Namaha.

Good morning mam… First of all, congrats on such a great blog… I always had a dream to study our Madhwa religion more and let the world know how rich our religion, culture and literature are… Especially our Kannada literature which is as real and accurate as Sanskrit. I found this site while I was searching for some Dasaru sahitya, especially composed by Shri Purandara Dasaru and sung by the great music legend Pandit Shri. Bhimsen Joshi. I am glad to know that you are also a follower of Rayaru and you believe in him completely just as I do…
Your efforts are enormous to post such useful contents. I can imagine the amount of time and efforts have put in by you. It can happen only when you are so involved and determined. And I believe Rayaru is giving you enough motivation to do such good work.
Rayaru bless you for all the efforts… And all the very best for you mam 🙂

Hare Srinivasa,
namaskAra to all devotees,
ಸಾಮಾದೀಡ್ಯ ವರಾಹರೂಪಮಮಲಂ ಹೇ ಮಾನಸೇಮಂ ಸ್ಮರ ||
Today is Bhadrapada Suddha Panchami, more popularly known as “Rushi Panchami”, which is a very special vratha for ladies.
Today is also holy day of Shri Bhoovaraha Jayanthi which not widely known. Shri Acharya Madhva has given the idol of Shri Bhoovaraha to Shri VishnuThirtharu, (younger brother of Shri Acharya Madhva himself) who was one of first eight disciples, ordained sanyasa for the special purpose of daily Pooja of Lord Shri Krishna. Since then Shri Bhoovaraha being worshipped as Samsthana Deity of Sode Vadiraja Mata, the parampara of Shri Vishnu Thirtharu. (In some mata, Sri Varaha Jayanthi is celebrated on Bhadrapada shuddha Tratiya )
Shri Varaha is considered as rescuer of Earth and so all of us who are living on this Earth are to be very grateful to Lord Varaha. This has be clearly shown in Sri Srinivasa Kalyana where Lord Srinivasa requests Lord Varaha for permission to live in Venkatachala, thus emphasizing on the fact that Shri Bhoovaraha is the real owner of the whole Earth and everyone should seek permission of Lord Bhovaraha to use the earthy materials.
It is also said that Lord Varaha appeared in two forms, once as Swetha Varaha in Vaivashwatha manvatnara and next time as Neela Varaha or Krishna Varaha in Chakshusha Manvathara. In Vaivashwatah manavathara, when Svaayambhuva Manu wanted to start Srusty as per the order of Lord Brahma, he found that Earth has got submerged in water and there is no place for living. Then he prayed Lord Brahma who in turn prayed Lord Vishnu to protect Earth. Lord Shri Hari came out of nostril of Lord Brahma in the form of Swetha Varaha and went deep into water to bring back the Earth. When Adi Hiranyaksha came in the way protesting against rescuing of Earth, Lord Swetha Varaha killed him and brought back the Earth. In Chaktshusha Manvanthara Lord took the form of Krishna( Neela) Varaha to kill Hiranyakha, brother of Hiranya Kashipu, who were originally Shri Jaya and Vijaya, the Gate keepers of Vaikunta, but born as demons as per curse of Shri Sanaka maharshi. Shri Varaha is also creator of all the items required for Yajna and Yanja Abhimaani Devathas and so got the name as Yajna Varaha.
Shri Achayra Madhva has praised Lord Varaha in Dwadasha Stothra and also mentioned about Varaha Sapthakshara(7) mantra, Varaha Chaturdhasha (14)mantra and Bhoovaraha mantra of 33 letters in Tantrasara Sangraha. Bhavisameera Shri Vadiraja Gurusarvabhoumaru has praised Lord Bhoovaraha in Dashavatara Stuthi and also in Theertha Prabhandha. Shri Rajaru has created two special stothras for Lord Bhoovaraha. In one stothra Shri Rajaru praised Lord Bhoovaraha along with his Upasya murthy Shri Hayavadana and in another stothra Shri Bhoovarha was praised along with Lord Narashimha.These two stothras are enclosed here for reference.
It is also to be noted that Shri Varaha is the deity for 4th varna of OM. The first three varnas are A, U, Ma for which Shri Krishna, Shri Rama and Shri Narashimha are Abhimani Devathas. For the fourth one – nada -which needs special power for Upasana, Lord Varaha is Abhimani Devatha. Shri Vishnu Theertharu had this special power of Upasana and so Shri Achrya Madhva blessed him with Shri Bhoovaraha idol. It is also to be noted that out of Dashavathara only 4 deities, namely Shri Varaha, shri Narashimha, Shri Rama and Shri Krishna are widely worshipped by devotees and Shri Vadirajaru was blessed with special anugraha of Lord to worship all these four deities in the same samsthana peeta. Even now Shri Sode mata is unique in worshipping all these four deities in the same peeta at the same time. Also in Sode mata there are two Shri Varaha idols, one given by Shri Acharya Madhva which is worshipped as main Samshtana Deity and other small one is blessed to Shri Vadirajaru when he visited Shri Mushnam which is worshipped along with Shri Vyasa saligrama with daily abhisheka and other 9 types of Pooja.
It is said that Lord BhooVaraha has to be prayed and worshipped to get rid all problem related to land and house. Only with the blessings of Lord Bhoovaraha, devotee may lead a peaceful life in the home else the house would be in mess.
May Lord Bhoovaraha bless all of us with a peaceful home to continue our sadhana in the right path.
NamaskAra

Posted by srmkalluvivaha on September 21, 2015 at 8:08 am
Of the 108 ‘Divya Desams’ in Vaishnavite tradition, eight are supposed to be ‘Swayamvakta kshetrams’ (the idols appeared on their own). ‘Srimushnam’ is one among them. Situated near Chidambaram and Vridhachalam, it has a hoary past.
Srimushnam’s presiding deity is ‘Lord Bhuvaraha’. Because of this, it is also called ‘Varaha Kshetram’. Lord Mahavishnu, unable to put up with the atrocities committed by Hiranyakshan, took the form of a ‘wild boar’ in order to rescue the world. In Krutayuga, the demon, Hiranyakshan, hid the world in the ‘Patala Loka’ (underworld) and tortured the Devas. The Almighty decided to punish him and so devoured him and rescued the world.
The icon is made of Saligrama and is also called ‘Yagna Varahan’. The utsavamurthy does not resemble a wild boar in acceptance to the desire of His celestial consort. This is the only place where all the deities are Varaha Murtis. His consort ‘Ambujavalli Thayar’ looks ethereal, ever ready to bless her devotees.
There are separate shrines for Lord Srinivasa, saint-poetess Andal, Lord Venugopala, Lord Vishvaksena, the great teacher Udayavar, Swami Desikan and ‘Kuzhandai Amman’, Thirumangai Mannan and guru non-pareil, Manavala Mamunigal.
Let us peep into the history of the temple. The temple existed aeons ago and has withstood the onslaught of nature. But, only in the 16th century, it gained prominence, according to the inscriptions. The Vijayanagar kings took special interest in the renovation of the temple and constructed mandabams and shrines for Azhwars. They also systematised the daily poojas and designed important vahanas like the ‘thiru ther (temple car). The walls and gopuram of the temple are an architectural marvel.
It is also believed that Vayu (the Wind God) and the Creator, the four-headed Brahma, perform their daily pooja here even now.
The main deity, with the face of a boar – Bhuvarahavan – faces the west. Special mention should be made of ‘Kuzhandai Amman’, a shrine inside the temple complex, that faces north. The friends of our ‘Divine Mother’ pose there together.
‘Pavana Vimanam’ shelters the Almighty inside the temple complex. Several images of the gods and goddesses adorn the Vahanam. There are many sacred tanks – punya theerthams – embracing the temple. A holy dip in every tank is said to redeem us of our sins.
It is a popular belief that Lord Bhuvarahan is manifested in Ashwatha form. The Ashwatha tree and the ‘Nithya Pushkarani’ are by the south-eastern corner of the temple. This divine tree is supposed to have withstood the vicissitudes of time, because it has been there from day one. It is believed that childless couples will be blessed with progeny if they circumambulate the tree with devotion. The place has been under the control of Madhwa Brahmins and Lord Hanuman stands as a sentinel near this holy place.
The two sects of Vaishnavite Iyengar community – Vadagalai and Thengalai – take part in the rituals of the temple. The ‘Madhwas’ recite ‘Gajendra Moksham’ and ‘Srimushnam Puranam’ everyday. Similarly, even the Saivites are involved in rendering a song and reading of the almanac. Thus, the unity of Dwaitam, Advaitam and Visishtadvaitam is found here.
The rivers, lakes and tanks in India have a great significance. The temple tank, called ‘Pushkarani’, is known for its medicinal values which is a panacea. Similarly, the temple tank in Srimushnam is called ‘Nithya Pushkarani’, and is considered more sacred than the mighty Ganga.
The ‘Ashwatha tree’, which stands like a colossus near the sacred tank, has a beneficial effect of blessing sterile women with progeny. Meditation and chanting of ‘Gayathri Mantra’ under the tree after bathing in the holy tank vouchsafes a place in the heavens.
Similarly, having a divine communion with Lord Bhuvarahan after a sacred dip in the ‘Nithya Pushkarani’ guarantees kingship in the next birth. Sundays and Thursdays are considered auspicious to bathe in the tank. Mortals caught in the quagmire of the mundane world will be redeemed of their karma once they take a holy dip here.
There are a plenty of sacred tanks and each one has unique feature. God has promised to relieve mankind from the cycle of rebirths if he bathes in these tanks. Such is the efficacy of the ‘theertha snanam’.
Having a sacred bath during solar and lunar eclipses, New Moon Day (Amavasya), Full Moon Day (Pournami ) is considered an act of punya.
After the holy dip, one is expected to have a darshan of the presiding deity for the almighty will wash away one’s sins. Since Lord Mahavishnu is fond of ‘Ekadasi’, having a dip in the pushkarani and seeking the Lord’s grace and, of course, fasting (upavasam), assures one of moksha. The sacred tanks around the temple speak volumes about its sanctity.
The Tamil New Year heralds the oncoming festivals in Srimushnam temple. During the month of April-May ‘Chitrai Utsavam’ is celebrated. The utsava murthy, ‘Yagna Varahan’, along with His consorts Sri Devi and Bhoomidevi, go around all the four mada streets around the temple. This culminates in the celebration of ‘float festival’ – theppotsavam – in the ‘Ashwatha Pushkaram’. The Lord with His two Lakshmis have a boat ride in the temple tank, that is illuminated for the purpose, accompanied by a retinue. The float festival reaches a crescendo when the boat speeds up.
During the Brahmotsavam, the car festival attracts people from the neighbourhood. The ‘ther’ is supposed to be the widest in Tamil Nadu. During Masi Maham (full moon during February-March), the Lord and His consort visit the neighbouring hamlets and towns to give darshan to the devotees.
Thaikkal, a tiny village near Killai which is a big town near Chidambaram, is a predominantly Muslim area. Situated on the shores of the ‘Bay of Bengal’, this place is an oasis of communal place and amity. This village was ruled by Nawab Hazarat Rahmatullah. Residing in a palace there, he paid obeisance to ‘Lord Bhuvarahan’ of Srimushnam when the idol was taken to Thaikkal to have a holy dip in the sea.
It is accepted by all that the Lord transcends all religions here. The Muslim brethren welcome the presiding deity with grandeur. He criss-crosses Thaikkal and accepts the offerings of Muslims. It is indeed unique that the Lord stops in front of the mosque and accepts garlands and candy from the chief kazi. After lighting the camphor in the mosque, the kazi recites verses from the Holy Koran.
The Lord makes his nocturnal visits in a flower-bedecked palanquin accompanied by bursting of crackers and splendid display of fireworks. There is an interesting story behind this.
The Nawab, inflicted by an incurable disease, was almost sinking when a devotee of Sri Bhuvarahan happened to visit the Nawab. Sensing the seriousness of his condition, the man, a Madhwa Brahmin, offered him tulasi and holy water which he had got as prasadam from the Srimushnam temple. The Nawab accepted it reverently and he was cured of his malady miraculously. As a token of gratitude and thanks giving, he offered several acres of cultivable land and orchards to the temple trust. This property is under the survey of Madhwa Brahmins till date. In this village, no Hindu God, except Sri Bhuvarahan, is allowed to enter.
The ‘Navarathri’ festival is conducted with gaiety and exuberance. The Goddess, Hemambujavalli, is decorated with silk sarees and flower garlands. She is carried in a palanquin festooned with fragrant flowers on the last Friday of the Tamil months Aadi and Thai.

Madam, thanks for being so active and also trying to be informative in all your blog posts, had a question, how do we find if we belong to Rigveda or Yajurveda ( madhwa). Do help.
Posted by meeraghu on August 28, 2015 at 8:42 am
I asked the same question to my Dad and Husband. They said just like you know what Gothra you belong to, someone elder will know if you belong to Rigveda or Yajurveda. Ask you father or uncle anyone belonging to your Gothra.
Posted by bookmane on August 30, 2015 at 4:14 pm
Ok, so is there no way to find it out, the answer I got was Rigveda, but will try to find out, if you seem to have an answer in the coming days, do share the same, thanks a lot for the reply and being really very active in response. Also hope today is the start of Rayara Aradhane, let the blessings be bestowed upon everyone.

Hi,
I am a Madhwa Brahmin too. I am married to a non brahmin now, so not sure if I continue to be a brahmin.
But I wished somebody from my Family had resisted the marriage. Nobody ever did so it went on smoothly.
My husband is the best person I have ever met. He is honest, soft natured and a very simple person. He never speaks or thinks ill for anyone.
All is good except the customs and traditions. As a Madhwa, there are so many customs, traditions which as a family you come together. I miss all those. My mom doesn’t really bother to tell me what has to be done on specific days or festivals, even though the marriage was not a sole mistake of mine.
Nevertheless Meera, your blog helps me a lot. Feels really nice and peaceful reading and celebrating the festivals the way you mention.
Thank you!
Chandrika
Posted by meeraghu on August 27, 2015 at 8:19 pm
Chandrika,
Don’t lose heart. Maybe your parents are hurt and that’s why they don’t want to ask you to do anything. You were born a Madhwa and will always be one. Follow your faith, God helps those who help themselves. Our Beloved Rayaru is a great example and if you read his miracles he doesn’t care what religion we belong to, only cares about our devotion and our goodness.
Take care, and Almighty Lord and Rayaru will bless you. And I am very glad to hear how good your Husband is. A blessing from God himself.
Posted by chandrika on August 28, 2015 at 12:54 pm
Thank you so much Meera aunt for such kind words. Really happy to have come across your blog :). Thanks again!
Posted by meeraghu on August 28, 2015 at 1:28 pm
I didn’t do anything, Chandrika. I like being supportive of anyone who shares their hardships here. There is a reason why they feel that way, and I am humbled.
Posted by nivniks on August 24, 2015 at 8:45 pm
Hi Meera,
It is so wonderful to see all our customs on your blog. I wanted the extract from satika vrata ratna mala for bheemana amavasya and found your page for pooja vidhana. It is extremely helpful specially for people like us who are abroad. Thank you for this. A request, if possible can you please upload the pooja vidhana and vratha kathe for Gauri-Ganesha habba from satika vrata ratna mala? would be really helpful! Thank you once again!

Further to what I said above, your husband may recite the most powerful stotra from Bhagavatha called “NARAYANA VARMA” which can be completed in 10 minutes. Take upadesha from a good Acharya and start. This stotra is enough to destroy enemies. Also Madhwacharya’s SUNDARAKANDA STOTRA and HARIVAYU STUTHI are other powerful stotras to ward off evil powers destroying peace.
NARAYANA VARMA stotra’s kannada versions written by Sri Vyasaraja gurusarvabhoumaru and Sri Vadiraja swamy are also available for parayana by ladies. The girl’s mother may do parayana of any of the two which are small and takes little time.

Just five minutes back I have read Poojya Vidwan Vishnudas Nagendrachar ‘s rare gift of the above verse. This two line versem was written by Sodenivasa Sri Sri Vadiraja Swamygalu. ‘ಅಂಧಾಹಂ’ for ladies instead of ‘ಅಂಧೋಹಂ’ . In critical decision making process, if this verse is recited in pooja room Paramatma takes care of the situation. You may kindly try. Your husband may also recite this verse when you are in pure form as many times as possible. You may also refer to VISWANANDINI group in FACEBOOK for the above with clear word by word meanings. The Acharya got practical solution several times.
I am also facing problem with my son who is in US and completed 33 years and though has no affairs with anyone, not interested in marriage. When he likes an alliance, from bride’s side there wont be any response. When bride side like him, he does not like This is what has been going on for the last five years and we are fed up. The silver lining came today. Let us hope for the best. I will start reciting from tomorrow onwards. Good luck.

Hi Meera avre,
During chaturmasya time, there is a tradition to give daana on every dwadashi. In the first year of marriage, it would be arshina-kumkuma and so on. If possible, can you/someone post the list in English/Sanskrit.

Other names for Adhika Masa –
“Mala Maasa”, – as Srihari will remove all our sins during this maasa.
As this month will be without sankranti, there is no importance of
Shubha kaarya like Marriage, Upanayana, Gruhapravesha, etc.
“malimlucha”, – When there is no sun in a particular month it
is termed as “Malimucha”. There are dwadashadityaru, viz.,
AruNa, Surya, bhaanu, tapana, indra, ravi, gabhasti, Aryama,
hiraNyarEtasa, divaakara, mitra, viShNu will be born in each
twelve months. There will be no sun during the thirteenth
month. Therefore the works of the Sun will be done by the
suryamandala itself.
maasEShu dvaadashaadityaa: tapaMtE hi yathaakramaM |
napuMsakEdhikE maasi maMDalaM tapasE rave ||
purushottama maasa” – as Purushottama is the maasa
niyamaka. Once Chaturmuka brahmadevaru kept the Saadhane done
through Vedokta acharane in one side of a scale and sadhane done
done during purushottama maasa. Then the scale weighed more in
purushottama sadhane side itself, which clearly explains the
importance of Adhika maasa———————————————————————————————-

Adikamasa andarae yanu ?
Adhika Masa is the thirteenth month in a Calender year followed by Lunar Calender,i.e., Chandramana reethya. It is not followed by those who are following Solar Calender, i.e., Sourmaana Reethya.
As per Chandramaana reethya, we have 354 days in a calendar year. But as per Sourmana reethya, (Solar Calender) we have 365 days. So, there is a difference of 11 days between Sourmana reethya and Chandramana reethya. So, these extra days difference of 11 days will be added, once in 33 months (32 months, 16 days , and 4 ghalige to be precise) , so that there is extra 29 or 30 days in that particular year. This concept of adding one extra month after every 33 months is known as Adhika Masa
Adhika Maasa is applicable for Chandramana followers only.
The lunar calendar is completely synchronizes with the solar calendar in a period of 60 years.
Mathematically, a Chandramana Varsha (Lunar calendar = 29.5305 X 12 = 354.366 days) has 354 days, while a Soura Varsha (Solar calendar = 365.2587 days) has 365 days, the difference being 11 days per year.
For one year (12 months) – 11 days
For second year (12 months) – 11 days
For 8 months ( 8 months) – 7 ½ days
For 16 days & 4 galige – ½ days
Duties during Adhika Maasa –
Maasa snaana – Throughout the month, we have to get up early during arunodayakala itself and do the snaana in rivers, and thirthas or atleast in wells. (Even when we are doing the snaana in a Pipeline water supplied by watersupply board, we have to do the chintana of Ganga sankalpa and do it).
Nakta Bhojana – We have to do the fasting till night and do the bhojana only in the night.
Ayachita Vrata – We must not ask anybody anything. We have be yadruchchaalaaba santrupta.
Dharana parana – One day upavaasa (DharaNa), next day (PaaraNa) – with this 15 days upavasa and 15 days bhojana.
Tambula Daana – During Adhikamasa, if we give tamboola daana to brahmana suvasiniyaru, our dourbhagya will be removed and we will get soubhagya.
Deepa daana – During this month we have to light “Akanda deepa” in the devara mane. We must ensure that the deepa never goes off throughout the day-night.
Apoopa daana – During this month, one has to give apoopadaana of 33 apoopa to brahmana daily. However, we can give more than 33 also, but not less than 33. If it is not possible to give apoopa daana on all the days, one can give it on any particular day. It must be accompanied by same number of Tamboola (Villedele), and dakshine. If we are doing on any single day – Shukla dwaadashi, pourNami, Krishna Dwadashi, amavasye, Krishna paksha astami, navami and chaturdashi is preferable.

Namaskar Amma. I am Ravi from Hyderabad city. My email address is known to you. I have contacted the Book Publisher cum writer Sri Amman Sathiayanathan and he was kind enough to arrange despatch of his super books on Rayara Mahimegalu (English version) to you. Please do not say NO, kindly accept these books as my GIFT to you for the seva being done by you through your website despite pressing time. The books have to adorn your library. The publisher requires your postal address so that the books can reach you directly instead of our carrying the same and despatching to you from NJ. My email address is: rateeva6@yahoo.com
Last week I had been to Bengaluru and visited Kamadhenu ksheta and Sri GuruSeshachar spoke nicely about you and his gigantic Project. I have also visited another kshetra called TULASIMATA PROJECT where 1 lakh tulasi splings are targeted for free distribution and also 100 crore Srirama japa. Earlier I got confused with these two projects for which I regret.

Namaskara… Getting goosebumps to see that through your blog Rayaru has gotten all the good information for sajjana’s around the globe. Such blogs are so encouraging.
I represent Madhwacharya Seva Sangha, Chennai. We organize Sarvamoola classes and Nyaya Sudha classes under the auspices of HH Pejawaru SrigaLu and HH Palimaru SrigaLu for the benefit of all sajjanas in Chennai and around.

Also, we have one weekend every month Sarvamoola paata at Chennai by renowned scholars.
We also had the blessings to have Sarvamoola Managala during 2010 @ Badri kshetra.
Every year, the Sangha organizes Teekacharyaru Aradhaney at Chennai in a very grand scale under the auspices of HH Pejawar SrigaLu. This year (21st year for us), the event was attended by around 1200 sajjanas.
We request you to spread the word around to have more sajjanas participate in our various classes and events and benefit.
Our Sangha has various publications with slokas in English, Sanskrit, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and meanings in English for the benefit of readers around the globe. Some examples are Brahmasutra Anubhashya, Adyantha Slokhas of all sarvamoola granthas, Sundarakaanda Nirnaya etc., Our Ashtotra publication (Tamil & Sanskrit) covering 32 different Hari roopas, deities and yathis is now at almost every Madhwa household in Chennai.

Very nice to hear about Sri Rayara ashtottara parayana by devotees. In fact in Donimalai township of Bellary district, when I came for audit from Hyderabad, I came to know about one Rayara ashtottara team there! Twice I participated with joy. In fact our ALAKAPURI Rayara mutt iat Hyderabad is blessing and
the result of Ashtottara parayana by devotees house to house weekly for four years and thro’ one great devotee Rayaru sent Rs. 2,50,000/- and after so many miracles site with beautiful building was acquired and now a renovated and nice Mutt exists.

Dear Madam, Hare Srinivasa, When I was searching about Rayara Literature’s, I found u r blog. some what i inspired u r inclination towards madhwa tatvasa. thks. In our colony i formed Sree Raghavendra Astothra Mandali on 14.1.2002. from then, every sunday we are performing Astothra in our colony at devotees house. Now on 13.8.2014-Uttarradhane is performing & ours 691st (13th year) astothra.ON 10th year we published sarala Sree Raghavendra Astothra pooja paddathi Book – 1000 copies (free) from our mandali on the occasion of Dhashamanotsva function. It is a kind of book which gives flow of pooja paddthi. (since almost mantra are in different books & no tantras.) We are performing astothra in a very simple manner by doing DEvara Pooja, Chanting Sree Hari Vayu Stuthi & 9 times Sree Raghavendra Stotra by min. 12 members (108 times). Our view is, not to bur done any one with heavy expenditures, we perform with only Tulasi & water, if they interested they can give a cup of milk or coffee & tambula after pooja for all devotees. In that way we are doing lot of spiritual activities.In my views Hinduism (Bramins) has a rich cultured one with so many principles which are more related to our health, science & devotion. So in that way our culture must spread whole world. If my views are liked we can exchange our views,if interested. I like to introduce my self, as I am H. Sethu Rao- aged 53 years, woking in Industry as a designer. My hobbies are every sunday astothra, pooja etc.I am staying at HOSPET.Karnataka. Thanking You. Hare Srinivasa

Srimathi Meera Subba Rao Avarige Namaskaragalu,
I am grandson of Gamaki Sri M Raghavendra Rao. We are celebrating Centenary Celebration of Gamaki Sri M Raghavendra Rao in association with Karnataka Sangeeta Nritya Academy on 7th August 2014 Thursday at Ravindra Kalakshetra J C Road, Bangalore. He born at Pandavapura – Mandya District on 7th August 1914 & ended his life on 30th November 1999. He belongs to Vijayadasara ancestory. Born to Venkatalakshamma and Neelakanta Keshava Rao, with the help of his father he studied upto Intermediate and was listening to Music programmes which was rendered by stalwarts in Mysore Palace. Based on that platform, he chose Gamaka field and took training from Sri Javali Angadi Thammaiah at Mysore in Gurukul system. He taught around 25 Ragas during the teaching. At the age of 8 years Sri Rao started giving programmes individually and once he left Mysore and came to bangalore, he had relationship with literary giants and he became the convenor of Gamaka Section in Kannada Sahitya Parishat and started Gamaka classes & exams throughout Karnataka he travelled and gave lot of programmes, conducted workshops on Gamaka and convinced people by reciting all the Kavyas. Being a Madhwa Brahmin he wrote poems (Padya Kaavya in Kannada) Sri Satya Deva Charite (Sri Sathyanarayana Vratha Katha in Vaardhaka Shatpadi) Sri Venkatesha Vijaya (Sri Srinivasa Kalyana in Bhaamini Shatpadi) Sri Vyaasaraya Mahatme, Sri Vasudeva Vijaya (Sri Madhwacharyara Jeevana Charite in Sangathya), Sri Ananda Geethe (Translation of Sri Madwacharya’s Dwadasha Stotra in Kannada) Sri Raghavendra Guru Keerthana Maala (48 Keerthanas on Sri Raghavendra Swamy which suits to Classical Music) Gamaka Geethe (Bhavageethe), Mysore Kogile, Sri Raagannana Kalipada (Padyas which gives Neethi for people how to survive in Kaliyuga which is in Yaalapada Chandassu – Book published by Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams – this is available on web also).

He presided over the 3rd Akhila Karnataka Gamaka Kala Sammelana in Bangalore during 1994.

The contributions are exempted under section 80G of Income Tax Act.

May of little useful to you Sir,
Kakhandaki is a village in Karnataka, India. It is located 32 km from Bijapur. There is a temple of a Swami named ‘Mahipati’.
This place is famous for Shri. Mahipati Rayara Vrundaavana and the Aaradhane festival happens on Chchatti Amavasya of every year. Nearest airport is Belgaum Airport. Mulvad Railway Station is the nearest railhead.
Surname Kakhandaki : This surname belongs to people from North Karnataka whose ancestors once would have lived in Kakhandaki village. People from all religions and castes can have a surname called Kakhandaki. There are Hindu Brahmins, Lingayats, Muslims and Christians having this surname. There is a big Kakhandaki clan who lived in Bagalkot town in North Karnataka. Their ancestry reads back up to Prasanna Venkata Dasaru who attained sainthood or moksha about 200 years back. There is still an annual Prassana Venkata dasaru Araadhani which conducted towards September every year and is attended by majority of the clan and is supported by other relatives of the clan. After the submergence of the ancestral house of Shri Prasanna Venkata Dasaru at Killa Bagalkot, the annual aradhani is now being performed by Sri Dhruvacharya Kakhandaki& his brothers, Colonel(Retired) Anant.B.Kakhandaki, Dr.Subhas.B.Kakhandaki and Prahlad.B.Kakhandaki and other relatives and Bhagvad Bhaktas of Prasanna Venkat Dasaru.. It is attended by large number of followers.

My name is Manjula and I am from Bangalore.I am really impressed by the content of this blog about guru Raayaru..You are really doing a great job in this regard,,,hats off,,,I wonder how you manage your time both at office and home and simultaneously devoting time to sri gurugalu?!!..PLS SHARE SOME TIPS ON THIS…I have been worshipping sri raayaru since 4 years but unfortunately he has never made an appearance in my dream…I have been hearing about raayaru coming in the dream and blessing…I consider myself very unlucky because of this..I chant sri raghavendra stotra every day and recite “om sri raghavendraya namaha” 108 times on thursdays…Raayaru has fulfilled most of my wishes and I consider him as everything in my life..I am not a Brahmin though..I don’t eat Non-veg, i Perform pooja everyday
pls share your opinion on what I should do for Raayaru to appear atleast once in my dream and bless me…I have been yearning for this since long…pls help
regards,
Manjula

Hi Manjula,
Our beloved Rayaru just needs your devotion, he doesn’t care for cast color or creed. The Bhakthi you have is most valuable to him, and you are lucky you are praying to him. It is not right to consider yourself unlucky just because Rayaru has not appeared in your dream. There are many in my family who are even more great devotee of Rayaru and they haven’t seen him in their dreams. Don’t be disheartened.
I am traveling to India day after, so will definitely write a detailed post about my daily routine, and how I manage my time. There are many who want to know this.
Good Luck, and keep praying to our beloved Rayaru. Have faith.

Hello Meera,
I really appreciate your works here. I was wondering if you have the lyrics for a song on the betel leaves (i think its by purandaradasaru). It says about significance ofhow many leaves to offer in a tambula. If you have any pointers for this please do share it. Thanks in advance.

Hi mam. I am an regular reader of your blog. It is very well published, it is packed with knowledge. I am in Bangalore and am in search of a book called Raghavendra Tantra. Have searched in all the book store in Bangalore as well as in Mantralaya. Every one is saying that it is out of print. I request you please post the soft copy of this book on your blog. One more thing I want to learn it form a teacher. If well versed person is ready to teach me I will be more than happy to learn.
I am posting a link for the benefit of reads.
In this PDF the way to say OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAYA NAMAHA is mentioned.

Dear Meera Madam,
Namaskara, Hare Srinivasa!! I am Srimushnam K Nagarajan, I want to share some details thro your blog ( for which you are doing a very very great service to our Madhwa community) about Srimushnam one among the eight swayamvaktha skethra in, India, which is not known to many of our people , where Sri Madhacharyaru created a holy pond namely ” DHANDA THEERTHA ” as in UDUPI, during 13th century during his sanchara. and the skethra murthy LORD Sri BHUVARAHA is swayambhoo Murthy of saligrama shila. .. In Srimushnam a great scholar and phlospher in Dwaitha Sidhantha (Who is having abandant knowledge of sashtras, Tharka and puranas,) namely SRI ARIYACHARYARU,who lived in the middle of 18th century. Due to his old age he could not able go to Kasi for Ganga Shnana.. He whole heartedly Prayed Ganga Matha regrding his inefficency, to come over there, On that night , in his dream Ganga Matha appeared and blessed him, saying with , that on the next day itself , SHE will come directly to Srimushnam to fulfill his wish ,and to accept his Moradabayana and to bless him, in the Nithya Pushkarani iItself and not to worry. What a wonder , as prommissed next day early morning in the Usath kala Ganga Mtha Came in the Eastern Side of the Nithiya Pushkarai. in the form of a fresh flow and the water level raised anomusly , and at the same time in the water only two hands of a lady(Ganga Mathas Hands) with full of Bangles appeared and accepted the Moradha Bhayana given by Sri Ariyacharyaru. and disappeared in no second.. Everybody there witnessed this occasion. Even Now today we can see this historical event was sculputered in the Eastern Bank of the pushkarani ,That place of the pushkarani is now called as Ariyacharyaru Gatta. We are very proud to say that we are the vamshastha of Sri Ariyacharyaru.and.because of this insident , we the vamsastha of Aryacharyaru exmpted from going to kasi for Ganga shnana .More over all the 32 holyJeeva Nadhigalu ,River Ganga ,Sindhu, Kaveri, Krishna, Narmadha, , Thungabadhra,Godhavari, …….Etc are present in the Nithya Pushkarani in all the four banks of that tank.For this reason, We have to take 32 baths in the Pushkarani with proper Shankalpha Which is called” Suthu Theertha Shnana”.In the eastern side of the Puahkarani there is one Aswatha Vriksha .Under the Tree a temple of Lakshmi Narashima and the idles of Avathara Thraya Hanuma, Bheema and Madhwa are there ,which was constructed was installed by a great Saint , called , Kambhalu Ramachandra Theertharu , the Moola Brindhava of Him is in the Navabrindhavana in Shenbakkam near Vellore in Tamil Nadu. The temple even now was worshiped by his shanthathigalu.. As to my poor knowledge, It is not possible for me to narrate fully about Srimushna Skshtra ,and as such all these things are very well known to your good sellf. Now There are Three mirthika Brindhavanas. Two of Vadhirajaru (both are vadhirajaru One Mrithika Brindhavana of Sri Raghavendra (Prathishta during 2010), Which is the direct Branch of Nanjangoodu (Mantralaya) Raghavendra Matta where Sri Rayaru had performed Three Chathurmasays, and we can get all fecelities (Food, Stayal, Theertha shrardha etc. subject to advance appointments) It is a must to every Madhwa to make a yathra to Srimushnam kshetra atleast once in their life time, Thank You once again. I hope that you had visitted my website Hare Srinivasa.!!

I should say a big thanks to you for such a wonderful blog.
This blog has helped me follow all my customs \festivals\recipes for the festivals\stotras etc smoothly.
Since, my parents are form north karnataka, we used to follow north karnataka customs at home, but at my inlaws house, they follow bangalore customs, which are quite different.
But, your blog really helped me and guided me accordingly.
Must say… many a times, following this blog was like a mom helping me in all my pujas & recipes..
This blog has become like my virtual mom.
Many thanks,

Hi Meera,
I am Uma Rajesh, used to live in San Jose and now live in Bangalore. I have been following your blog for many years now for guidance on many many things, lyrics, shlokas etc. Today I thought I should share something with you and all the Vaishnava bandhugalu who follow your blog, do check out http://www.vyasapeetham.com. It is an amazing project by Sri Nagendracharya. The hours and hours of upanyasas are easy to download and listen on our phones. Do check it out. Maybe you already know about it but if not I somehow thought posting this link on your page was a very apt thing to do as you have so many Madhwas visiting your blog. I hope you and the others like listening to the wonderful upanyasas as much as I do.
Posted by meeraghu on August 27, 2013 at 10:31 am
Thanks, Uma. I will definitely check this out.
Posted by Uma Rajesh on October 29, 2013 at 10:46 pm
Meera, good to know you are back now having visited some very nice places in and around Bangalore. Just wanted to know if you got a chance to check out Vyasapetham.com and listen to any of the upanyasas. Please don’t think I am being pushy, I have shared this with some like minded folks and we are all enjoying the upanyasa. If you like it too, then it would be great if you can share it on your blog on the main page so other interested Vaishnava Bandhugalu will also benefit. Do let me know what you think. You can email me at umarajesh@hotmail.com. Thanks You – Uma
Posted by meeraghu on October 30, 2013 at 7:51 am
Uma,
Yes, I have visited the web site http://www.vyasapeetham.com/ many times. Haven’t had time to listen though. I will definitely post the link and write a post soon. If you can send me more details that would be helpful also.

Posted by Uma Rajesh on November 5, 2013 at 12:56 am
Meera, I am penning my personal experience here, I am so very happy to have found this website (www.vyasapeetham.org). This is a real treasure trove for interested Vaishnava bandhugaLu.. The Upanyasas are very easy to download and install on our smart phones and listen. We are really blessed to have this kind of interpretation available to us so easily and so conveniently. In large cities be it Bangalore, San Jose or New York people spend many hours in their daily commute and associated traffic jams, I think listening to these great Upanyasas on phones will not only take away the pressure and stress of driving and traffic but will enhance people’s lives to great and immense extents. Many thanks to GurugaLu Sri Vishnudasa Nagendracharya who has made it his life’s goal to bring about the awareness and the greatness of Sri Mukhyapranadevaru and spread true knowledge that is in our Shashtras and Puranas to interested people in such an easy to access way. I always thought I would attend some interesting Upanyasas by prominent Madhwa Philosophers when my kids have grown and I have more time on hand but Vishwanandini has changed all that!!! We do not need to be old and retired people to know what our Shastras say and what our rituals mean, we don’t need to wait till the golden years of our lives when most of our lives are already spent to know “how to live right”! That is what I like most about Vishwanandini, it’s accessibility!!! I am sure there must be lots of people like me and it is to such people I want to spread the word about this great website and the vast knowledge it contains in such an easy to access way!

My name is Krishna and I am a student in Chicago. My family belongs to Rayara matha and I feel fortunate for this. On my recent trip to India, we went to Mantralaya on Thursday and did 12 pradikshanas of the devastana and one namaskara every pradikshina.
I have come back to Chicago now and begun chanting “Om Sri Raghavendraya namaha” and I do it a minimum of 30*108 times a day in the morning. My goal is to do one-lakh this month of June. I will need your encouragement and advice if you think I am making a mistake in this sort of Sankalpa.
If there is any event in USA (esp. chicago) please do let me know and I will try to help out.

Yes Madam! That is my big worry always. God’s rituals should not be limited to only certain families or VIP’s or Rich. So all who loves him really should be able to witness such sevas. So just wanted to make these sevas at least in a text way so devotees will be aware what is happening inside the temple. Thanks for posting this in main Page. I’m finding this is the right way to share all my feelings and will also write about other sevas whenever i get some time.
Thanks again.
Raju.

Raju Sir,
Everyone knows that unless you are rich or have some influence it is impossible to see Lord Venkateshwara for more than a minute. Even getting to perform any seva has become a long wait. So, hopefully we can get some insight by your posts.
Thanks again for sharing these rituals.

Shri T.T Temple – Tirumala: Sri Vari Arjitha Sevas Description: Suprabhatha Seva: Tallakapaka CN Raju. Sri T.T, Tirumala.
Details of daily worship at Tirumala Temple:
The worship in Tirumala temple is done strictly according to the Vaikhanasa Agama. According to the Bhavisthyottara purana, Vaikhanasa Rishi is said to have admired the playful leelas of Lord Krishna in Dwapara Yuga and did Tapascharya to obtain darshan of Lord Krishna. The legend goes that Lord Krishna appeared before him and instructed him to worship the Lord as Srinivasa who manifested himself in a hill on Venkatachala and that one Rangadasa will help him to locate and worship the Lord. Vaikhanasa Rishi then proceeded to Tirumala and is said to have found the Lord with the help of Rangadasa and worshipped him. Thus Vaikhanasa Rishi, according to the legend, is the first person to worship the Lord at Tirumala. Hence in this temple, to this day, worship is conducted according to the Vaikhanasa agama. Having known about the leelas of the Lord let us go in detail about the different prayers offered to the Lord of Tirumala in a day.
The temple is virtually open throughout the day and in the night with only a gap of an hour or two in the night between the Ekantha seva and the early morning Suprabhatham.
Suprabhata Seva: (3am -3.30am)
Performers: Tallapaka Annamacharya Family + Hathiramji Mutt + Jiyengar Mutt + Vedaparayana dars + Sannidhi Tirumaliga Archaka’s + Sanndhi Golla + Devotees.
Early in the morning at a fixed time like 2:00 AM, the previous day itself ‘golla’ (cowherd : Remember in Srinivasa History who has beaten Lord and gave shapa to him. Now his family continues and they are the one who will have first darshan of Lord at Sanctum Sanctorium).will go to the residence of the archakas & collect them who have been allotted the duty in the sanctum sanctorum that day. The archaka would have by that time had his morning bath, completed his Nitya-karmanusthanas and wearing Urdva Pundras. He will then do pranama to the key of the sanctum & proceed to the temple holding the key on his head, accompanied by paricharaikas, temple paraphethedar and music. The ‘golla’ would be holding a fireband in his hand when the priest has reached the main entrance of the temple. The cowherd would go back and bring the HH Jiyyangar from Mutt or his representative- Ekangi to the temple. The Jiyyangar or Ekangi will come carrying on their head a box, which contains one key (duplicate) and seals etc.
Meantime, the temple administration representative would have come there with one key. The system is triplicate lock system with archaka,, Jiyyangar and temple authorities having one key each. The archaka will first symbolically place his key in the hand of the Dvarapalaka on the right of the Bangaru Vakili. The priest will do pranama to dvarapalakadevathaas near the Bangaru Vakili. Then he will take the key from the dvarapalaka and seal is broken and the doors of golden vakili will be opened uttering suitable mantras. Here the speciality of the Keys is : It is called Kunche Kola..and Archaka will open the inside lock from outside. this is being secret and will be revealed to only Anuvamsika Archaka’s. The Sannidhi ‘golla’, Annamacharya Family, the paricaraka, jeeyar & arhcaka will go in and the Bangaru Vakili doors will be closed from inside.
Bangaru Vakili is a telugu word which means ‘golden doorway’. Here the two doors are massive and covered with gold plate. One should not miss studying these two doors in detail as they depict religious facts. On one door all the ten avataras (incarnations) of the Lord are depicted. The other door depicts the dwadasanama devatas viz. Kesava, Narayana, Madhava. Meantime in the Mukhamantapa the devotees for the Suprabhata seva would have assembled. There will be priests outside who will start reciting suprabhatam, stotra, prapatti. Mangalasasana verses composed by Sri Pratiradibhayankaram Annan. While inside the Bangaru Vakili the antarala the golla with his fireband (torch) would have lighted all the lamps. The ekangi would have lighted the Brahmakhanda and sara lamps.
The next ritual is to remove Bhoga Srinivasa. Who acted as Sayanabera the previous night. When he was ceremonially put to sleep in a cot during Ekantaseva. He will be lifted from that cot and will be taken back to the sanctum to rest near the feet of the Dhruvabera on the left side. That place is known as Sthirasthana. The height of the icon gifted by Samarai, the Pallava Princess does not reach even the anklet of the Dhruvabera. But all worship in the sanctum is done to this idol. At this stage Annamacharya famly use to render wake-up songs (” Meluko Sringara raya”,” Vinnapaalu Vinavale Vinta vinthalu”, “Medini jivula gava meluko vayya”.. and so on),
The vaikhanasa practice is to establish a connection between the Dhruvabera and the Kantukabera through a sambandhakurca during worship. This sambandhakurca is a bunch of 32 blades of darbha (grass) tied by a knot in a rightward direction. The knot will be about 2 inches (angular) in length and will be in the middle thus having about 4 inches (angular) of darbha (grass) fire in the front. The front portion is set to represent Brahma, the knot Vishnu and rest Rudra. This sambandhakurca is placed in the space between the Dhruvabera and the kantukabera with the front portion of the kurca towards the kautkabera. The belief is that the sanctum is water, while dhruvabera is the earth below and the kautukabera is the flower that is nourished by the earth and water. The sambandhakurca is likened to the stalk of the flower, which is connecting link between earth and flower through water. After that Lord will be offered Naivedyam with Hathiramji Mutt Navaneetham(Butter) + Tamboola. So lord of seven hills first will have Navaneetam as Naivedyam. This clearly shows is he is Small child Krishna.
After restoring the kautukabera to Jivasthana, the sayana mantapa is cleared of the cot and other articles used for Ekantaseva the previous night. The doors are open and by that time the reciters outside would have completed the mangalasasana. In the sanctum, the jiyyangar will light the camphor on a plate and give it to archaka who performs Paccha Karpura Harati to the Mula Vigraha. The devotees are then allowed to pass through the Bangaru Vakili and go up to Kulasekharpadi for the Visvarupa / Suprabhata darshan.
The tradition in Tirumala is that Brahma conducts worship every night for the Lord at Tirumala. Actually every night before closing the doors if the Garbhagruha five gold cups of water with the spices specified for puja as per agamas, added to them along with other puja articles are left at the feet of the Lord so that Brahma may use them for the worship of Lord in the night (Brahmaradhana). The devotees who go for Visvarupadarsana get the Tirtha believed to have been used by Brahma & other Gods for the puja offered in the night. Another important feature is that only during Suprabhata-darshana is the devotee able to have a darshan of Lords sacred feet without any gold kavacha on the fact. It is removed during Ekantaseva when Bhoga Srinivasa is put to bed, a half piece (billa in telugu) (half a tablet-like) perfumed sandal paste is placed over his chest, and other piece is placed on the figure of Alamelmanga on the chest if the Mulavigraha, another piece is kept along with puja articles for Brahma to use during his nights worship to the Lord. In addition, another two piecec are placed on Lord’s feet after removing the gold kavacha. These pieces on Lord’s feet are placed there, after wiping off the Civet oil with which his feet are anointed before placing the gold kavacha on them. During the Suprabhata-darshan the devotees are given as prasada a bit from these two sandal paste tablets kept on Lord’s feet in the night and some will be given the small piece of perfumed cloth (Plokta Vastram) with which the Civet oil is wiped off the feet of the Lord, so that they may reverentially press the cloth on their forehead and eyes. The sandal paste is called Sripadachandana and the cloth is called Sripadavastra or Plokta Vastra.
Annamacharya’s Family, Tarigonda’s family, Jiyengar and Venda parayanadars are recipie of Brahma Tamboolam which is the Tambool offerred to Lord and Goddess during night.

Hi Meeraji! Nope. Not at all.
This is absolutely gratitude to your work and devatha strotras, Hari ka thamrutha sara and not for any other reason. As you shared the knowledge, and also because of some punya which we had from our ancestors, I want to share Srinivasa’s sanctifications for you. Absolutely it is for no any other reason or not for any money sake. These things are highly intimate and delicate and I should respect honours of Sri Vari Temple. Kindly share your mail Id and will send my details.
As of now I am working in software organization to continue my life and whenever I had my turn in tirumala will offer Seva to him. Next month – in June, I have Sannidhi responsibility, will be in Astadala PadaPadmaradhana where we will place 108- Golden Flowers to Lotus feet of Lord and Vakshasthala Tayarlu. At that time, I will also give your Gotra namas in Garbhalayam to listen to Supreme Lord :).
If you like, I will also give some of the recipes which our beloved superior will take daily and occasionally. We will prepare different items in Sri Vari Potu, Like Proktam Laddu, kalyanotsava Laddu, Vada, Jilebi, Thenthola(Muruku), Appam, Matra Dhadyonam(only item which we will take inside Garbhalayam for Naivedyam), Vakula Matha Payasam, Seera, Miriyapu Pongal , Pulihora, Chakkera Pongal, Thomala Dosa (Big Jaggery Dosa), Pancha kajjayam(offered in Sahsra deepalanakara seva), Koluvu Srinivasa Murthy Tila Nivedanam, Meva (Ekantha Seva prasadam), Butter offered by Hathiramji Mutt duing Suprabhatham, Poli on Friday Abhishekam… so on.. These we call as “Taliga” and special items which we offer to Lord of Seven hills daily during Prathah kala, Madyana kala and Ratri kala.
Also I will send each and Every seva of Lord which happens in Tirumala from Suprbhatam to Ekanatha Seva if you like it.
Other than this we can expect in our life? Once again telling it is not play or Joke. Only few will get this Punya and it can’t be borrowed or purchased.
As my Annamacharya says,
“Venamala Vennuda Vinuthencha nentha Vada…Kanimmani naaki punayamu..kattithi vayya..
(Dachuko nee padalakau..taga ne chesina poojaleve).
(Meaning: Who I am to praise you my Lord? Just you have given me this Punya..to praise you.. To your lotus feet i am offering sankeerthana Pushapa)..

Raju Sir,
I have sent you an email. I am just amazed. Like you might have seen, I have a big picture of Lord Sreenivasa in our Living room. He is our Mane Devaru, and I keep pointing to him almost everyday and say “When are you going to give me your darshana”. I really can’t believe this is happening to me.
Just the thought of you thinking to send me the items our Lord has used itself is a big joy for me. It feels like amazing, and to have your email on Narashima Jayanthi also made it so special.
I have no words to express my sincere thanks and gratitude. Thanks a million.

Dear Meera Ji!
Very nice to see your Blog on Guru Rayaru and you are really great to spread our tradition across the world.
We are descendants of Shri Annamacharya who wrote several songs on Lord of Tirumala. Daily one of our family members should be present in Tirumala during Suprabatham / Ekanta Seva for singing Annamacharya krithis in front of Lord. Without listening to our songs Srinivasa will not wake up or sleep. We are also Kanya Datha’s for SriDevi /Bhudevi to Sri Malayyapa (Tirumala Utsavamurthy is called Malayaapa) during Kalyanotsavam.
We are very much enchanted and would like to send Sri Vari Mahaprasadam for you. (Chandanam offered to Lotus Feet + Namam (kept on forehead of Moolavar of Tirumala) also Ploktha Vastram (After Abhiskeham on every Friday we use to wipe out complete body of Moolavirat + Abjisekha teertham (Lord’s Lotus feet teertha). These are all the belongings of Srinivasa which directly touch Lord of Seven Hills.
In fact our Guru Rayaru – (Baby Venkatanatha) is vara prasadam of our Lord Venkateswara swamy. During my turn at Sannidhi, I use to recall that Sri Thimanna Bhattu and Smt. Gopikamba prayed here and got gifted such a marvelous son. They prayed in-front of Kulasekhara Padi (Step – in front of sanctum sanctorum – it is one of the Alwar). Even Purandara dasaru, Vijaya dasaru visited our Sannidhi.
Kindly let me know how the above things can can be reached you. You can mail me at below address.
Srinvasa Anugraha Praptirastu!

Madhwa scholars repeatedly say that EKADASHI and Janmashtami day fasting is far superior to all other fastings.
Posted by Ragothaman N on April 5, 2013 at 3:11 pm
I am a Madhwa Desistha from Trichy. I am observing full fasting on Thursdays for the last 27 years. (I take only milk & tea – 5 or 6 cups) Nowadays I feel tired (due to my age – 50+). Physicians advise me to take some ‘palahara’. Can I have some with salt or I should have only sweet items? Please advise
Posted by meeraghu on April 5, 2013 at 3:21 pm
I am not sure why you are completely fasting on Thursday. As far as I know, you can definitely eat once. If you don’t want to eat food, palahara is good. Fruits should also be fine. I am just saying this based on my knowledge. Please check with a priest.
Posted by Ramakrishna Rao on April 4, 2013 at 8:32 am
Dear Ms. Meera, The information you are providing about madhwa community/culture is really fantastic. I don’t miss a single post of this site. Really hats off to you, being a SW engineering and staying far off india, you are able to gather so much of information including the latest panchanga of uttaradi matt, which I cannot do being in Hyderabad Appreciations and keep it up.

Respected Meera
I am an Madhva and an ardent follower of Sri Guru Raghavendra Swamy. My native is Kolar which is about 70 KMS from Bangalore. From Kolar, about 15 KMS there is a place called Tambihally which is a holy place and has Moola Vrindavana of Sri Madhava Teertharu who is the direct disciple of Sri Madhvacharyaru and vrindavanas of Sri Narahari Teertharu & Sri Akshobhya Teertharu. Apart from this, there is a Sri Vyasaraja Pratishthita Prana Devaru and Sri Rayara Vridavana.
We have a pontiff by name HH 1008 Sri Vidya Sagara Madhava Teertharu to look after the Mutt and he is a great scholar and has Doctorate in Sanskrit and he gives speech in Telugu, Tamil, English & Kannada fluently. He was also the principla of Mantralaya Vidya Peetha.
The reason for writing this to you is that we got to know that there are some incripts (Upanishads) which are written by Sri Madhava Teertharu which is kept in a library of Germany.
If you can get to know which library, what is the procedure to bring it back to India, it would be of great help.
My contact number is +91 98454 88439.
Any questions related to this, please feel free to contact me.

Meera, I was going through some the old comments posted here. In one particular comment, someone wanted to know of contacts in Mantralaya. Nevertheless, it’s quite an old post and nothing can be done at this point in time. However, if you happen to come across people needing details or some logistics help, contact phone number, place to stay, route etc., in any of these places, I shall be glad to be of some help to them: Mantralaya, Raichur, Kallur, Kopra, Chippagiri, Hatthibelegal, Cheekalaparvi, Bichhali, Navavrundavana, Anegundi, Kanakagiri, Hampi, Navali (Bhogapuresha), Sode (Sonda) etc. My email id r.ashrit@gmail.com

Here is a temple of Shri Venkataramana in sitting posture. It’s an ancient temple near Raichur. The name of the place is GORKAL. It is close to Bichhali too. Here’s the link to one of the photographs:

Hello Meera,
I came across a nice kannada devotional somewhat janapada haru on goddess Lakshmi. I thought I share this on this blog. If you like it can be added to your video collection on Lakshmi. Kannada Devotional Rathna kanchuka. It would be nice if could get lyric for this.

If you can listen to the song and write down the lyrics and send it here, that would be a great service right?

Hi Meera Subbarao,
It is really nice to see this post that gives lot of information on Hinduism. I had one question and just thought that you might be the right person to answer it. – Very recently, i visited to a Sharada Temple. There, after submitting my prayers, i found that Flowers fell from the left side of the god (left to god). Now, i am very much concerned that if it is inauspicious thing to see the flower falling from left side of goddess sharadamba. I am very much worried if something inauspicious is going to happen.
Posted by meeraghu on January 22, 2013 at 8:29 am
Hi Karthik S,
It is a great sign that the Goddess has shown her blessings to you. No matter from which side the flowers fall, we consider it a great sign. Something good is definitely going to happen. Don’t worry, it is a good sign.
It has happened to me several times, and same to my Mom.

Before leaving for India we want to hear your voice please as u r also a great devotee. Could u mind a mail to me. My contact no. is 201-984-7656.

Very nice to hear you are also a great devotee of Rayaru. I will definitely call you over the weekend.
Posted by C.B.Ravi on December 26, 2012 at 10:06 am
Respected Madam,
Anantha Namaskars. Yesterday only (Dec. 25, 2012) I joined your sacred web site. Yesterday I happen to see ‘MAHISHASURA MARDHINI’ stotra in the website and recited the same. In my childhood I knew by heart and later forgot. What w wonder! In the night I had a dream in which a big LION wandering in the ground tries to enter our kitchen from the backdoor and I shout out of fear in telugu language “PO PO” which means GO GO. It shows a tiger also beside it and says we will stay for a small time and enters Kitchen from the backdoor only and sits and eats something and goes to next house. There another man, instead of driving away in fear, feeds the lion with fruits etc. Later I open the kitchen mesh door and see that the entire vast land behind is empty and none is found there.
After I woke up, I recollected that yesterday morning I read Mahishasuramardhini stotra from your website after a pretty long gap of so many years and Devi Durga came both in the form of Lion and a small tiger and blessed.
This proves what a great devotee you are and how sacred the website is!
There are no further words to describe….
Ravi

Dear Meera ji,
This is a wonderful blog. Everytime I need some peace of mind, I come and read. I just read Sri Raghavendra Swamy’s last speech, and I was teary-eyed too. I started worshiping Him quite recently (even though we used to go to the Mutt near home). I was searching for a photo frame in India and somehow couldn’t find one. After I got back here, my sister posted a photo of Sri Raghavendra Swamy, which she brought from India and the happiest part, I received it on a Thursday, even though it was supposed to reach on that Friday. Tears of joy I cannot explain. 🙂
Please keep posting more and if you could let me know your e-mail id, I really want to talk more. Thank you so much.
Regards

Hello Meera.
One of my family members is organizing a 5 day painting event “Rayara Kala Krupa” at Mantralaya beginning on the 13th of this month. Rayaru and his life events is the theme. There will be around 20 artists from all over Karnataka participating. These paintings will be given to the mutt. Could you please suggest some specific events that the artists could work on? Would appreciate some input from you.
Many thanks.
Chomini
Posted by meeraghu on September 6, 2012 at 2:01 pm
Chomini,
I am not an artist, however have a few ideas.
1. It will be nice to see an artist draw Our beloved Gurugalu in Udupi with his veena and singing “Indu Enage Govinda”.
2. Draw the three or even four Avatars of Rayaru.
3. Show our beloved Gurugalu as Little Prahalada sitting on Lord Narashima’s lap.
4. Moola Brindavana in the background, and showing our beloved Gurugalu sitting in the brindavana.
Just my suggestions since you asked.

Found your blog while searching for the meaning of “Sri Raghavendra Stothram”. Although my dad had tought me when I was young to recite was curious to find the meaning. Yes, could have asked my dad to narrate the meaning , however we are so addicted to the internet that you cant stop asking Google first :).
The important point here is that I want to thank you for this forum that you have created – feel so belonged. Rayara Krupakataksha nimma meele sadaa irali.
And my request to you – please pray for me as Iam going through a very bad patch in my life …Not only need Rayara krupe but need blessings and advocacy from devotees like you .

Some feedback – Your tweet mentioned about Ekadashi as being on June 30th. It was on the 29th. If you are following Indian Panchang for tithis, I recommend you use http://www.mypanchang.com for a Panchangam based on your location. Indian Panchangam cannot be used in US. I hope your blog followers would love to know about mypanchang.com.

Is Rayaru seva done only in the morning? How many days should one do seva, is there any fixed number of days or it’s upon the person to choose, if there is a wish or a trouble that is less or great then should the seva days number be increased decreased accordingly?
Posted by SANHITA on June 19, 2012 at 12:10 am
What i mean is can i take my water and tea in this seva as it is a medical trouble as without it i can’t be clean and it gives me lot of trouble.
in the morning first should i recite 108 times ” Sree Raghavendraya Namaha” and then how many times the shree raghavendra stotra as it is very big and 108 times completion will ttake a lot of hours, so how many counts should i do that is required other than 108 times?
Posted by SANHITA on June 18, 2012 at 4:03 am
Dear Meera Ji
Just saw ur blog, it’s wonderful. I am interested in rayaru seva, as you said one can do that home in the morning but my problem is related to severe chronic trouble that is the hindrance, iam suffering from severe constipation from birth, if i don’t take 3-4 glasses of warm water along with tea i would badly constipate and with this intake iam free and this takes time as i have to go to loo 2,3 or 4 times and i get up at 5.30 or 45 am and drink two glasses then after one hour i feel to go to loo then again i take 1-2 glasses of water and tea and iam relieved fully and without this my system is stalled and i can’t then manage anything as i get headaches and severe gas and achy muscles. and after drinking so much water i many times urinate and by 8.10 i have to catch my office van outside and bcoz of this trouble i feel odd to make others wait in the van but in seva one can’t eat or drink anything in morning so how will i manage and bcoz of my medical trouble no time will be left for puja so how will i do? Can i do it after returning from office in the evening at around 7.30 or 8pm? nd how exactly then should i do it as i don’t have a puja room as we shifted house early this year and what i have is an empty stair way/space towards the terrace, can i do it over there as no one will disturb me there. Can you plz tell me any seva procedure suitable for me? how many times to chant the rayaru stotram? as it is long and 108 times will not be completed before 10pm.
Thank you
SANHITA
Posted by meeraghu on June 18, 2012 at 7:24 pm
Sanhita,
Where there is a will there is a way, where there is no will, there is a hill. I am not sure how I can help you.
If you wish, you can take holidays from work and complete the Seva. If not, just in the evening sit in front of Rayaru and recite” Sree Raghavendraya Namaha” 108 times. This shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. I recite it 108 times everyday in the morning.

Having lived in the Midwest, near Chicago for over 20 years, I am now in Malaysia for a few months before I return to the US. I missed going to the Brindavan in Toronto despite many visits to Michigan.
After the publication of my first book, I had gone to Sri Guru’s Brindavan on Sampige Road in Bangalore to seek His blessings. A few days after this, I had a dream. I ignored it at the beginning but had another dream a few days back. Based on Rayaru’s command I have started writing a book about Him.My goal is to make people from the northern part of India and also non- indians know about Him and His teachings and be blessed by His love and compassion.
I am specifically looking into people outside India who have experienced His miracles.
The reason I do this is because there are many excellent books written in Kannada, Tamil and other Indian Languages which often recount Sri Guru’s miracles and my target now is to propagate our Guru to outsiders and westerners. When I see how well Shirdi Sai’s fame has spread and throngs and throngs of people visit Shirdi I feel such joy and pride. It would be great if Guru Raghavendra’s fame and name also spread among more people and many could benefit by His grace and blessings.
If you or anyone else who blogs here would share their personal experiences and miracles, I would be most grateful. If the person does not want their name published, I will just put the initials or give another name to protect their identity.
Any help you and the others can render will be most appreciated.
My email id is divineblessings777@hotmail.com
Thanks in advance.

Thanks . Loudly or by heart ? Any puja needs to be done or simple recitation is enough?
Posted by meeraghu on April 25, 2012 at 8:15 am
Doesn’t matter. Simple recitation is enough. Do the basic pooja, like lighting a lamp, offering flowers which we perform before any pooja.
Posted by PM on April 25, 2012 at 7:21 am
Hi,
IS there any procedure to recite rayaru stotra? As in should it be in the morning/evening? Also should I recite it loudly or within my heart ? Any inputs on these?
Posted by meeraghu on April 25, 2012 at 7:43 am
After shower in the morning, and before dinner in the evening.

Dear Meera avare, I am Krishna Venkataraman, a staunch devotee of Rayaru from Adelaide, Australia. and a regular follower of your site and admire the great work you had been doing. I have created a Tamil version of Shri Raghavendra Kavacham in response to devotees’ requests using BARAHA s/w as you suggested. But I do not know how to post it in your website and have been trying to do for some time. Can you please advise me to progress on this for which I will be very grateful. Many thanks and regards.

You are doing a really great job on this blog Meera. I can’t stop myself from frequenting this blog of yours. I am from Shivamogga and a devotee of Raayaru. I have been graced by Raayaru and His miracles in my life. In fact Swamy Raghavendra is all I look up to for all the guidance and grace in my life. I am pleased that our beloved Guru Dev has such a large number of believers and followers. Your blogs are worth visiting for updates if any. Please accept my sincere appreciation for your blog.
Also would like to wish you / your family and the visitors to this blog a very happy ugaadi /new samvatsara.
I am looking for a Hi-Res (HQ) pictures of Shree Raghavendra Swamy (the older copies) which can be usually seen housed in large sized glass frames in old Udupi hotels. And I am mostly seeking the simple photos like the one in which our Raayaru is sitting in front of Brindavana with the R hand palm raised to bless the devotee. Another variation of this same photo is with a Veena in hand. Any idea where I can download these pics? I want to put a similar sized glass frame on the walls in my home.
It would be better if the SRS mutt .org web master could help me in any way.
Anyways, thanks once again for your beautiful tribute to our beloved Raghavendra SwamyJee, Antantyadayaalve’.

Hi Chandra,
Glad to read your comment and know that you are a great devotee of our beloved gurugalu. Last month when I visited India for Work, I went to Bangalore for 2 days. I found several calendars in 5th block Rayara Mutta. Please ask someone to post it to you. I brought the one with Rayara Brindavana. It was just Rs.25.
I have several pictures, but none with high resolution for printing large pictures.
Posted by Chandra Deo on March 22, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Thank You Meera. Will try to get someone to pick up from 5th block Rayara mutta. Meanwhile, wish you and your family happy ugaadi and a cheerful nandana samvatsara. Bye for now.

It is called swapna something that I do not know. The story goes that Sri vadiraja was in brindavana at this time. A person who could not speak wrote these stotras. Please correct me if I am wrong.

My husband has studied in sainik school bijapur from class 5 to class 12.
We need your help for a question taking away my sleep for past few days.
We live in mumbai and now my husband is changing his job location to muscat. We have a saligram at home obtained from our great grand parents. can we carry it to muscat. is it correct religiously and will airport authority allow or do they object. same about few small idols.can we carry as hand baggage.
Kindly take some of your precious time to reply
Best wishes

Posted by meeraghu on February 20, 2012 at 8:01 am
Dear Shubha,
Glad that you are moving to Muscat. My Parents are staying here with me in US, and are on a visit. Dad brought the saligrama he has with him in India. You can carry it in hand luggage. Also, the idols we used to have them in Dubai as well.
However, I am not sure what the procedure is in Muscat in carrying idols. Please check.
I do not think there is any boundary in praying to the Lord and worshiping him. So, take it easy, and enjoy your stay in Muscat.

Please see the appeal below. If this disturbs you , my sincere apology for the same.
Sri Rama Anjaneya Sri Ragavendra Swamigalu Mrithiga Brindavana Trust
Please do visit http://www.mrithiga.com/gallery.html.
The holy vasavapuram is located 13kms away from Tirunelveli. This place was ruled by a king Sri Vallaban (835-852AD) then called “Veerabhijana Chaturvedi Mangalam”, duing the rule of king Sundrapandian this place was known as “Saidu Unga Nattu Chaturvedi Mangalam” (1216AD) and then during thee army chief Narasappa Naicker period, it was Narasapapuram and in due course came to be known as Vasavappapuram. The following famous temple add glory and fame to this holy place Sri Varadaraja Perumal temple and Sri Ramaswamy temple built in the 12th century add pride to this place. There are quite a few temples worth worshipping in near this place. At Anavadhanallur, near this town is a Sri Ram temple, the presiding diety being Anavardha Nayakar with Anavadha Selvi, and also the famous Thamirabarani river flows which bears historical importance within 3kms ar Murappanadu Village, one would find Sri Lakshmi Narayanan temple and Kailasanathar temple which is one of the Nava Kailasa Gurusthalam. In the east as Sri Vyasa Bhagavan had remarked in Thamirabarani Mahathmyam with reference to Daasavathara Theertha Ghat, Perumal Koil-Kasi Viswanathan temple add holiness to this place.
The Mirithiga Brindavan which is coming up at Vasavappapuram was announced by Sri Sri Raghavendra Swamy in the dream of Mrs.B S Savithri who is a devotee and was instrumental in consecrating a Mirthiga Brindavan at Saligram, Chennai which is now popularly known as Dakshina Mantralaya on 15.07.1975.
Mrs. Kamala Venkataraman who is living in Adambakkam, Chennai, a staunch devotee of Sri Guru Raghavendra Swamy heard about the dream from Mrs.B S Savithri. It so happend when Mrs.Kamala visited her native village “Vasavappapuram” after many years and she was astonished to see the place described by Sri Sri Raghavendra Swamy to Mrs.B S Savithri in her dream was infront of her. Then she explained all the details to Mrs. Seetha Sanjeevi (Banglore) and Mrs. Seetha Rajagopal (Chennai) owners of the land and they were immensely pleased to know that Sri Sri Raghavendra Swamy himself has choosen their land for his Brindhavan, and with great joy both donated their land for constructing “Mrithiga Brindhavan” of Sri Sri Raghavendra Swami.
“Sri Rama Anjaneya Sri Raghavendra Swamigal Mirthiga Brindhavan Trust” was formed by Mrs.Kamala Venkataraman and family. With the initial fund donated by various devotees Bhoomi Pooja was perofmed and started the constuction activities of the “Mrithiga Brindhavana” at Vasavappapuram.

I happened on your site as I was searching for some info on vaikunta ekadasi. Its really heartening to see the dedicated effort you have taken to keep the culture alive despite being so far away from home. I see you have started in 2007 and are still keeping it going. Hats off to you for your dedication. Though I am a Tambram, my mother before her demise was an ardent devotee of lord raghavendra and even now, I do my mother’s annual ritual at the raghavendra mutt in Chennai. I am impressed by the shraddha of the priests many of them much younger than me. I will be following your site closely. My retirement village is just three hours away from Mysore. If you are here, do take some time and drop in you will enjoy a real rural ambience here. Happy New Year and may god bless you and your family. Sathya

HI Meera akka I am srilatha from Bangalore,nice to come across your website hats off to you to capture all the details of our customs and religions.It has been amazing to see you having great devotion especially towards Rayaru,besides your professional career.I am ardent devotee of sri Rayaru.I really felt so happy after visiting the website.I am from Madhwa family but my husband is not from madhwa family,my problem is my husband never do pooja,he belives in rayaru but never do pooja to rayaru,he argues with me when ever i tell him to do,how can i make him understand please tell me.From childhood i used to do pooja and seva to rayaru and what all my mother taught me but my husband is fully opposite and even my daughters i have two daughters they all make fun of me when i do pooja or do seva,rayare avaregella sadbudhi kodabeku. on aradhene days i usually do seva for three days do pooja in the morning and do 108 namaskaras to rayaru and go to near by rayaramata for lunch and no dinner in the night only some fruits and milk and i sleep on the floor for all 3 days seva.Every body says on the third day rayaru will come in our dream and bless us but i don’t have that adhrusta to see rayaru or have i done anything wrong in seva i don’t know.please tell me is there anything wrong in my seva because you arerrblessed by rayaru and seen rayaru in your dream you are trully blessed and rayaru himself given darshan to you ,you have rayara krupa u are really great so please bless me akka and show me the right path.is there any other seva or pooja please tell me i even do 108 japa everyday and i recite poornabodha every thursdays.please reply me.
Posted by meeraghu on September 23, 2011 at 11:02 am
Srilatha,
Great to hear that you have so much devotion towards our Rayaru. There is nothing you can do about your Husband and Daughters. If they don’t believe in Rayaru, there is nothing much you can do. So, don’t keep thinking about things which you cannot change. Time will change them.
Focus your attention on Rayaru, continue everything you are doing. There are many people who are great devotees of Rayaru, and haven’t had the chance to see him. For example, my Father and Sister. They never get any dream at all. That has not stopped them ever. However, myself and my Mom always see Rayaru in our dreams. Doesn’t mean we have more Bhakthi than my Father or Sister. They do exactly the same seva like we do. So, it must also be something related to our frame of mind.
So, not having seen Rayaru in your dream doesn’t mean anything. Keep praying.
May Sree Rayaru protect you and your family.

Hello Meeragaru, I live in Detroit. I came across your website when I was searching in Google the procedure to do our dear Gurugalu’s Aradhane in my home. Your website is very nice and you are doing a very noble job in letting all know about our Gurugalu. I would like to talk to you in person about the but do not find any contact details or personal email id. Please do send me an email. Thanks a lot. God Bless you and your family.

Hi Sneha,
I am really glad that you thought of me, and invited me for this big day. However, it is the exact day we will be performing the 2nd masika of my Mother-in-law. So, I will not be able to make it.
I will definitely try and visit some other time.
Thanks very very much for inviting me.

Hi Meera,
I have been reading your blog ever since my cousin Niru sent me your link. You are doing a wonderful job in terms of the spiritual / culinary content. I also like the way you are upholding our culture without coming across as overbearing and still contemporary. I am married into a Madhwa household (born smartha) and must say that i am quite lucky to have the in-laws I. @ the same breath i must admit your blog has inspired me to know more about the Madhwa philosophy. Of the various forums and blogs that I have come across regarding the subject…..I must say your space is very serene and non-pretentious and something that I can relate to very well.
Hope to draw from your experience and spirit !! Thanks for your contributions !!!
Kind Rgds,
Anu

Posted by meeraghu on May 14, 2011 at 9:22 am
Prahlad,
Not sure how I can help. But, the best option would be to get a job. That’s the only way you can learn everything that goes on in software.
Posted by prahlad on May 12, 2011 at 2:40 pm
please everyone chant Sri vijaya Daasara Kavacha daily atleast once.In kaliyuga one can gain pure(nirmala) knowledge(gnaana) only through serving gurugalu like Rayaru,Vijaya daasaru,Gopala daasaru etc always remember these APAROKSHA GNAANIGALU and follow their words which makes life free from all sorrows.Hari Daasara contribution towards MADHWA SHAASTRA is great,astounding,INFINITY.It should not be forgotten,one should always have curiosity towards gaining Knowledge(thirst for knowledge ie HARI GURU JIGNAASA )along with their responsibilities performed correctly ie possible only through right GURU.I pray GURURAJARU to bless us.On june 8th to 10th 2011 Sri VIJAYA DAASARA KARUNA PAATRA sri MOHANA DAASARA Aradhana is there in CHIPPAGIRI.It is also a must visit punya kshetra like Mantralaya.Please attend the function.

Hi Meera,
I have been so much addicted to this site that i never skip a day without visiting this .
From many days i wanted to write this . As we all know , we have so many traditions and beliefs in our madhwa custom. We never know the reason why we are following that .Specially during marriages and special functions. Parents keep telling us dont do this , dont do like that , can we come together to find out the reason behind each one of these. Let me know your reply please.

Hi Meera,
Advance Ugadi Wishes to you and your family.

Hi Meera,
I never skip a day without visiting this site atleast once. It has now become a sort of addiction to me i think!!!!
From so many days i wanted to tell this to you.
There are so many simple simple beliefs in our caste for which we just blindly follow without knowing why exactly we are doing this. Can we collectively come together to find out why these beliefs/traditions are made? Our parents tell us not to do this and not to do that. Can we find out the reason behind that. Please reply.

Hello Meeraji,
It has been amazing to see you having great devotion besides your professional career, It is well known fact that today most madhwa girl and boys turned most modern not in their thinking but their attitude(this is my perception after seeing many instances), correct me if I’m wrong. What is your view on this? I think maturity should not only learning their domain and making money and they should also take care of the religion and family life.
hats off to your receipe and it’s yummy and feel at home. Continue your good work, Rayaru will not leave persons like you. Last time you sent me the Uttaradhi mutt calender, this time by any chance if you have it pls do send it rajramac2006@gmail.com
Warm regards

What exactly are the terms “exposing as web service” and “SOAP/HTTP binding” means.. Do u have any tutorial written or do u have any idea about any web site which helps me in completely understanding about web services basics..

Hello,
I am a Madhwa currently in NY. I really appreciate your efforts in disseminating Madhwa related info. There is something that I would like to point out. There are food items that have been categorized under the Authentic Madhwa recipies which cannot be really called authentic, especially the ones that use “Nishiddha” items. I suggest you to retain only the authentic recipies under the category.
Thanks,

To write kannada, you can also use the indic software from google…i write in hindi…for the devnagri script i found the software easier than the baraha. the phonetic transliteration is more accurate and easily editable for google tool…it also gives you a virtual keybord in the language of your choice.

Especially for different stotras and songs which we really can’t get elsewhere/have to struggle to get like Mane varthe haadu, Yantroddharaka stotra, PDFs like swarna gowri pooja vidhana and vratha kathe, handbook for performing different festivals, lyrics of few rarely found stotras. This is really a store of information for brahmins in particular… I am noting down so many things from here and including that in my pooja rituals.. It is an encyclopedia about our culture for our future generation….
Hats off to your great work… 🙂

Respected Mrs. Meera,
Just without my intention I stumbled on the ‘Kalpavriksha’ web site ! Believe me it is very nice site . Thank you for promoting Madhvaism in the distant area like U S .
My name is S N S Rao to be short (Shamarao Nagesharao Shroff). I live in Mumbai, Thane ,having spent my life in advertising and marketing field for almost 35 years.
Much of my time now is spent browsing the computer and of course most important being in the service of RAYARU in the Rayara Mata in Thane..
The kalpavriksha site is very interesting as also homely and informative.
I only wonder if I can take advantage of your knowledge and intelligence in the service of the Madhva community abroad !

Three days back, Team Madhwas got a mail asking for a favour of helping out in building up the Raghavendra Swamy MUTT. The Mail was from Sachin. Here is the Mail
” I am Sachin. Chhappar, from Belgaum, Karnataka, I am a BE graduate.
The issue for which i am writing this mail is, here in Belgaum We Were Alloted A Land Of 10guntas After A Long Struggle Of 13 Years By The Seniors Of Our Community because of the govt in power and the lack of support from people of our community.
Now we have the land, But There’s A Huge Financial Crisis Due To Which The Plan Of Constructing A RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY MUTT And MUKHYA PRANA DEVASTHANA Has Been Temporarily Halted.
So i request you’ll to appeal to all madhwas interested in donating towards this cause through your site.
I am the president of RAGHUKULA YUVAKA SANGHA, which is working with RAGHAVENDRA SEVA SAMITI, the area alloted is registered under the samiti.
I fear that the Govt will supersede the area if we dont act at the earliest.
I am seeing for a positive response from all of you.
Regards,
Sachin
“
We Hope Every reader or visitor of this Website Will definitely Contribute Some or the other Things For this Seva. You can reach Mr. Sachin on his Phone Number +91 9738484304
Please Post this in Your Website So that, One or the Other Fellow Madhwa would be interested in Helping Them to Build Raghavendra Swamy MUTT
We already Placed it in our Website http://www.madhwas.com/charity/donate-for-a-good-sake.html
Please Offer Your Helping Hands Too …

No problem at all. There is lot of scope for .NET development. I am sure if you learn 1 programming language well, and become an expert learning another language becomes a piece of cake.
So, if you feel comfortable with .NET, go ahead. Best of luck.

Hi, My name is Anu Sarathy and I am a devotee of Sri Raghavendra Swamigal. I have been searching for Raghavendra Suprabhatham songs/mangalam and found it on Raaga.com. Still, when I was in my college days, I used to listen to the Suprabhatham on All India Radio ,Chennai, broadcasted every Thursday morning around 6am, sung by PBSrinivas Sir or Ghatasala and Janaki. But, I do not see that anywhere /cannot listen to it anywhere online.
Can any of you point to the website, where I can listen to this song? Any suggestions provided would be appreciated..
I am waiting to hear those voices and the suprabhatham again…Thanks in advance, Anu Sarathy

Hi Meera !
Sorry for delayed response ! Yes that is so true 🙂 !
Have a Nice Weekend !
Posted by Deepika D on May 19, 2010 at 12:38 am
Hi Meera,
Glad to see your response !
I wish all the good luck to your Daughters future.
Yes you are true . If you have the willingness to learn , sites like this created by you are a lot helpful .
Its quite a lot of heat in mantralaya now. Later part of the evening we experienced little rain , but noon times, temperature can go upto 40 Deg. River Tungabhadra is pretty dry due to summer season. Accomodation was not a problem. Volvo is the most comfortable means of transport to reach till the temple,Though little costly its worth paying that much. All the Seva’s to Rayaru had got over quite early in the morning . So we could only get the Sankalpa done. But we got to see Tulasi Archane to Rayaru & 2 eyes were not enough to fill the Lords Alankara 🙂 The crowd was more because of Adhika Masa despite we got Lords Darshan for more than 5-6 times which was a delight.
Pls let me know if you need more details. I will be glad to share it.
Regards,
Deepika.
Posted by meeraghu on May 19, 2010 at 8:45 am
Dear Deepika,
Thanks so much for the response. Yes, Volvo bus is indeed comfortable. However, I am not so sure how my Mom would be able to tolerate 40 degrees. We will see.
Again, thanks for the reply. I will keep you posted if Sneha visits Mantralaya. She has also become a great devotee of Rayaru, I guess my influence. 🙂
Like they say in Kannada “ತಾಯಿಯಂತೆ ಮಗಳು”.
Posted by meeraghu on May 18, 2010 at 7:26 am
Deepika,
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments. I am glad this blog is assisting young ladies like you to visit and learn more about our customs and traditions. This blog is going to be even more useful for my Daughter who will be going to a different state this summer for her College.
It was created to assist her, and I had no clue she would be needing it so soon.
I am glad you visited Mantralaya. How are the resources there? Sneha is visiting India next month, and she wants to visit Mantralaya also. Please let me know at your leisure.
Thanks again.
Posted by Deepika D on May 18, 2010 at 2:32 am
Hi Meera .
Your website is very nice & very informative. More so ,, I feel it is very nice for the the young generation today who do not find enough time to lean about our culture & religion. I am 23 year old Corporate & from a Madhwa Family . Since we happen to work in front of the computers for most part of the day, I can access to your website & gain so much information during free time..I love Stuffed Brinjal & in my house we are more so orthodox & do not use onion or garlic in cooking. Your recipie looked very interesting & i am also planning to try it at home this weekend:) I happened to show your website to my parents & they were over-whelmed to see so much of information. I am also a great devotee to Rayaru & had been to Mantralaya 2 weeks before:)
Its a delight to visit your website !!!!
Best Regards!
Deepika.
Keep up the Great Work!!

Tons of thanks to you,as I could get a darshan of Lord Srinivasa on Vaikunta Ekadasi here in Philly.
My official name is Shubha,however I have a household name ,Chandrika.
I have mixed feelings when I saw this website.i am more than happy,feel good being a Madhwa ,and nostalgic .During my recent years,I have also given volunteer service at Rayar mutt in 4th T block,Jayanagar.
For the time being,this is my opinion about your website.

I would like to offer the lyrics of my loved songs ‘Ninna Nanenendeno Venkataraya Enna Nee Salahabeko’ & ‘Karuniso Ranga Karuniso’

Sri Venkateshwara Swamy as pradhana murthy, as well as Sri Ganesha, Sri Shiva, Sri Rama parivara and Sri Radha Krishna. This past summer we have added Sri Mahalakshmi, Sri Hanuman, Sri Durga and Sri Karthikeyan respectively.

Hello Meera,
Your website is very informative and makes me feel proud to see an exclusive website for Madhwas itself. It is also so astonishing that we in Bangalore get so much of information related to Madhwa Shastra, our relegion, culture from a person who’s posting all this from US. I’m sure you must have heard about Sonda(Sri Vyasrajara Brindavan) near Sirsi. Visit this place sometime during your visit. It’s a beautiful place.
Looking forward for more information and activities on this website.
Hare Srinivasa!
Meera: Yes, I am a great devotee of Sri Vadirajaru as well. But, I had no time during this visit to go there. I will try to visit next time I plan India Trip. Thanks so much for the information. Also, my Father is a life time member at Sonda.

Hello Meera avare…
I am Sarita from Bangalore. I was AMAZED and EXCITED to come across your blog. I have been trying to persuade my mother and aunty to write down all the Madhwa puja rituals, recipes, etc for quite some time but somehow it hasn’t happened. I believe that if we do not archive these traditions, festivals, recipes, the biggest losers will be our children, because as it is I know only about 10-20% of what my Grandma knew. What you are doing is a BIG blessing for all ..especially Madhwas.
I wanted the lyrics of the song “Thaaye Sharadhe, thoro karuneya………….needemage vidya bhaagyavaa” I really would be grateful if you send me this. Thanks a lot again.
Hi Sarita Avare, Thanks so much for your wonderful comments. I will try finding the lyrics for the song you have requested and will post if I get them.
Posted by Sarita on August 4, 2009 at 2:10 am
Meera Avare … Namaskara…
Thank you… I am glad that you are an ardent devotee of “Raayaru” also. I am proud to tell you that the Malleswaram (Bangalore) Madhwa Sangha in the Raayara Matha premises was established by my father-in-law’s father Late Sri Gundu Rao in the 1960s.
I am also extremely blessed to have “Raayara krupe” on my family. I visit Mantraalaya every chance I get. Standing in front of Raayara Brundavana brings extreme peace to my soul. I was very fortunate to have received blessings of the Late Swamiji Sushameendra Theertharu several times in the past few years.
Looking forward to the lyrics of “Thaaye Sharadhe” from you.
God Bless You and Your Loved Ones for your wonderful contribution to society…
Warm Regards,
Sarita
Thanks Sarita for sharing your story.

I love ur website though am not a madhwa but am enriched culturally by going through ur website where i get to know a lot of things about our kannada traditions and pooja vidhanas.Am sure u dont need to be a madhwa urself to inculcate all this in ur life or ur children’s upbringing.
Keep up the good work and spread sarva janaha sukhinobhavanthu!

Hello Meera,
My name is shruthi Kulkarni and I live in Bristol,U.K.
Very useful website.I also love ur recipee.One thing….can u post Jestha gowri puja dates on the website.It comes during the Ganesha festival.I do it 3 days.Shukravarad gowri and Jestha gowri get to meet …so gowri stays for a long period.Lots of sacred thread 8,9,7,6,16 knots are made and put in a silver tambige and puja is performed on that day.the second day both gowri(shukravarda and jestha) puja is done and on the third day u wear the thread.I dont know if u r aware because not all madhwa family have this parampara.
Hi Shruthi, The festival is there on my Mother’s side, but not in my in-laws place. So, I have no clue about this.

Namaskara Meera avare,
Would it be possible for you to post the Ganesha Chaturthi pooja vidhana ? This is the first time we (my husband and I) willbe performing this(keeping the ganesha idol, pooja, visarjane etc), so, I will appreciate any help/ advise from you.
Read in one of your last year comments that the text is too much to translate to English. If it is in Kannada/Devnagari, that is great too. I hope I am not asking for too much. Please post only if possible/time permits.

Mrinalini.

Hare Shrinivaasaa.

Hi Meera,
I just read on your Java Blog that these days you feel tired etc. Meera i feel you as great when i see the kind of Job you are doing. It is impossible for a normal person to do so much of work at a time. I feel you as a perfect woman. I just feel you are blessed child of Raghavendra Swamiji. You are helping so many people, You know because of your website i have learnt 3 Raghavendra Swamiji songs which i chat almost everyday. When i read you feel tired and all, i felt very sad. But please Meera do the great job whatever you are doing, don’t ever discontinue. Have faith in God Raghavendra Swamiji he will help you in all the ways. Like i have said you are blessed by Raghavendra Swamiji, so everything will be fine soon. Now i am learning Pahi Pahi song. Your audio video is helping me a lot as i do not know Kannada writing and reading , i can only speak. So i am learning the song by listening and i have taken print out of the song and i am trying to learn. Thank you so much Meera. I look at you as my elder sister. Thank you so much for all the good work.
Rajasree
Hi Rajasree, your comment and kind words are so much appreciated. Yes, I am a great devotee of Shri Raghavendra Swamiji, there isn’t a day I don’t say his name a million times. As you read in my other blog, all this might be because of the stress and strain of traveling and work. I hope to write many many posts and also work more on this blog.
I am so glad you were able to learn the songs and are able to recite it also everyday. Makes me feel so happy. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.
I am honored to know that you consider me as your elder sister. Thanks again so much. Appreciate every word of yours.

Hi,
This kind of blog is exactly what I wanted to create and started with http://harivaayu.blogspot.com but for some reason I could not post any lately.
I have been silently following and admiring your blog for the last one year. I am indeed very happy to see your blog on Madhwa tradition. Thank you so much. I am a madhwa from tamil nadu who don’t know kannada script. It would be great if you can email me the ‘varava kode thayi’ song in english when you find time.
Thanks again. Please continue to post and May Raayaru shower His choicest blessings on you and your family.
Regards,
Mythreyee.
Hi Mythreyee. Thanks so much for your nice comments. I sure will send you the lyrics in English.

Hi Meera:
I am a Maharastrian Deshastha Brahmin working in Chicago. After going through your blog, I felt so much at home that I keep visiting your blog over and over again. My ajji (grand-mom in marathi) was from jamkhindi in N.Karanataka. I always feel that Marathi Deshastha Brahmins and Madhwas share same cultural heritage…maybe they are just called differently in the 2 states…So keep writing and wish you the best of luck. I look forward to reading more about this shared heritage..maybe you’ve more knowledge about it.
Thanks,
Alok
thanks, Alok. I do remember some of my relatives on my Grandmothers side saying they were Deshastha Brahmins. They did speak marathi as well. When we were in Bijapur, we had been to Jamkhindi many times.
I am glad you liked the web site. And thanks so much for your comments.

I live in Bangalore, India, and I SHOULD not be asking you for this, but would you have the lyrics of the song Devaki Kanda Mukunda, a Purandara dasa devaranama?
Thanks!
Sarayu
Posted by meeraghu on April 28, 2009 at 10:42 am
Hi Sarayu,
Thanks for your comments. I am not sure I know that song, but I will check and see.
Posted by Anu on April 29, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Dear Meera,
I think Sarayu is referring to “Jo Jo Krishna Paramananda “” .I have listened to my family members in India singing this devaranama.The second line of this song is also sung as “Jo Jo Devaki KandaMukunda”.I used to sing this deveranama when my son Prajwal was born. I learnt it from Sona Ajji (my Husband’s Ajji).
Thanks
Anu
Anu, in that case it has been posted long time ago. Please check the lyrics page which has songs listed in alphabetical order.
Posted by Arvind Pradhan on August 10, 2009 at 10:01 am
I might have the lyrics in Devnagari. Is that ok?
Posted by meeraghu on August 10, 2009 at 10:03 am
Yes. You can post it here or send it to me from the contact page.

Dear Meera,
I am Aparna Desai, born and brought-up in Pune. I got married on 15th Feb 2009. My husband and I stay in Pune because of our jobs, however my in-laws stay in Bagalkot Karnataka. I am Business Development Manager in a elearning company in Pune.
I saw your website while googling for lyrics of kannada songs and I must say that your site is amazing. I got everything I wanted her, lyrics, information etc.
I am now going to subscribe to it so that I keep enriching my knowledge.
Just a request, if possible, would you be able to also provide meanings of the songs specially – Bhagyada Lakshmi and Tughire Rayara
You must be wondering why.. I am a Maharashtrian Brahmin married to Madhwa Brahmin. I dont know Kannada – in process of learning..
I would really like to understand and learn Kannada Devotional Songs and also practise them at home so that our culture what we follow in Bagalkot and followed in Pune as well.. Moreover, I would also like to surprise my in-laws by singing these devotional songs on my next visit 🙂
I also read Lakshmi Shobhan every Friday. Again, I dont understand much so we the meaning in English is available with you, do post it.
I really appreciate the work you have done.. Its precious than Diamond for people like us..
Thanks
Aparna Desai
Aparna, the meaning of Bhyagyada Lakshmi has been posted a long time back. The meaning of Thugire Rayara has not been posted. I am glad you liked the blog and thanks so much for your comments.

Hello Meera,
I come to your blog while searching for lyrics of Lingashtakam. I got it on your blog and for curiosity I gone though your other interests.
I surprised to see your multidimensional personality.
You are a good cook, you have interest in Art, and you are Software Professional.
Now a days girls in IT industry even not thinking to cook at home. They themselves eats ready to eat food and forces or makes excuses for family members to eat the same.
If this is case with food, they don’t have time to think about Puja(God worship) and our rich Indian traditions.
You are an example to all Indian gentlemen and gentlewomen to take care of all the things such as Tradition, Art, and Science.
Keep posting good things.
All The Best.

I stumbled upon this website just now and found an immediate liking since it contains wealth of information and is an one stop site on madhwa traditions etc. I would like to pose this question to you! Why dont you give some home based jobs to those ladies who are interested in madhwa tradition and culture etc., since there could be a lot of content/knowledge related management works for this website.
Thanks & regards

Hi Vijayalakshmi. Does sound like a good idea, but I know not one person who will be willing to volunteer. I do this with no expectations of reward of any type. So, if you know someone who is willing to volunteer, please let me know.

Hi Meera,
Iam from north karnataka, now living in NJ.
I was searching for “Poojipene Ninna” and stumbled upon your blog ! I spent the entire afternoon reading through your blog..Excellent blog and it is good to see all all recipes and other stuff regarding festivals keep up the good work !
Very happy to listen to Aaruthi belagire and Poojipene Ninna…Actually I was planning to learn these songs as I have heard this many times during poojas in india from my mother in law, granny and my mother.
It would be greatfull if some one can post audio of nithya prarthana (small book containing small shlokas for everyday prayer day-wise). I have the hard copy brought from india, but do not know to sing them properly. It would be great if some body good at that will say the shlokas and record it. Every body even children will benefit.
I can scan the book and send it.
Hi Shilpa,
Thanks for taking time to browse the blog and also for your comments. Sure, send me the scanned doc. My Sister and I will try to record the same and post it in youtube. Thanks again.

I am interested to know if you have any photos or articals or any info on teh mantap creation from Banana plant trunck. I know it is done very widly in Kerala for Ayypaa mantap. Pls help me to get more photos /techniques of the same.
Harish, not sure about this at all. Sorry
Another question, Is their any specific pooja or decoration to be performed at house on Sankranthi.
I don’t remember my parents doing anything special. The main thing was preparing the Yellu or Sesame seeds as it is called(Yellu Berodu). And giving it to as many people as possible.

Hi Meera Subbarao,
Thanks a lot for Thoogire Rayara Lyrics. Right from my childhood i wanted to learn this song and sing it to Raghavendra Swamiji. I always told my mother to mail me this song in English. But somehow i never got it from her. And one day i told Swami i really want to learn this song and started to search on internet. And i was so surprised to see your webpage and that to with the song and also with lyrics. This is possible by only God Raghavendra Swamiji. I got too emotional seeing the song and listening to the song. And now i have learnt the song and singing it to Raghavendra Swamiji. So i wanted to thank you million times for this. You are really close to god. That is why you are helping so many people like me. Thank you and i will keep looking at your page and try to learn more good good songs of God. Thank you so much.
Regards,
Rajasree

Hi Supradha,
I am glad the shankar poli turned out well. It is indeed very easy. Thanks for letting me know.

Awesome, Supradha. I am glad you were able to do it again and also feel happy about the same.
Thanks again for your nice comments. I really appreciate the same.
Keep me posted on how your shankar poli turned out.

Hello again,
After that accident i performed Mangala Gowri pooja again on Friday of the same week, the pooja was a success. I was very satisfied and happy.
We also celebrated Gowri and Ganesha festival, i read Ganesha Ashtothara from this blog, and also some manthras and songs i learnt from your blog. This is a very very useful blog, your are doing a great job.
This evening i am planning to make shankar poli, i used to love the way my mom used to prepare it. I will try it today, hope it turns out well.
Regards
Supradha

Hi Meera,
I have not bought any silver items from Bangalore, as we are going to stay here for only a year. So i placed the tambittu on a steel plate, as i have done before.
Thanks for your comments.

May the lord bless you and your family with all the Happyness and Prosperity!.

Posted by meeraghu on August 27, 2008 at 11:39 am
Hi Supradha,
It was an accident, so don’t worry too much about the same. You did the pooje which is very important. A small doubt though? Why did you not place the tambittu in a silver plate and do the Aarathi?
Anyway, keep an open mind. God always forgives his devotees.
Posted by Supradha on August 27, 2008 at 10:16 am
Hi Meera,
Thanks for you response. I need your help. I have done Mangala Gowri pooja, this shravana masa. As yesterday was the last tuesday of this month i did the pooja as i had done the previous tuesdays. But this time i followed a different method making the tambittu deepa, and it turned out to be a disaster. I made them by frying the besan with jaggery and some ghee. After i lit all the deepas it burnt the whole tambittu in minutes and my carpet flooring also got burnt. I am too dissappointed since this happened during the pooja. Is there anything i can do to seek forgiveness from goddess.
Posted by meeraghu on August 25, 2008 at 7:17 am
Thanks, Supradha. I am glad the blog helps, that’s the sole reason why I spend most of my free time working on this. And, such nice comments make it easier to keep working hard.
Posted by Supradha on August 25, 2008 at 4:15 am
Hi Meera,
This is a beautiful blog, it is very very useful and informative. I live in Colorado and miss India very much, celebrating festivals here is difficult as we dont get the items as easily as in India, but your blog is making it easy. Great job, keep up your excellent work.
Thanks

I stumbled upon your fascinating blog while browsing for a free download of Shri Mahalakshmi Ashtakam (bhajan) as I have the lyrics. Could you please let me know where I could do so?
Congratulations, Meera, on your fantastic and most interesting blog including authentic Madhwa recipes and interesting details about Hindu culture. It shows real love for what you are doing.
I know about Baraha and have downloaded it to my computer. Could you please instruct me on how to go about using it for rendering lyrics in English, Hindi, Kannada and other Indian languages?
Could you write about how they prepare the saar in Sri Raghavendraswamy Mutt?
Thanks for making your blog so interesting and so colourful. You really do have God’s gift for making things interesting.

Would you have the recipe of ‘authentic’ Bisibelebath? I have tried zillion versions of it, but everytime it turns out like sambar rice but not ‘the’ bisibelebath. I guess the heart of it is in the bisibelebath powder.
Eagerly waiting for your inputs.

Thanks for your prompt and immediate response. My needs are as follows:
Take for instance Chennai City. How many Brindavanas are Mritika brindavanas. their location, address, telephone nos. when it was consercated and by whom, the name of the Trust/individual to whom donation or other financial assistance to be sent etc. The booklet to be brought out should contain only authentic informations and not any vague ones and hence this frantic search. Even if takes some time it does not matter much for me.
Expecting your help and thanks

Hi Ragu,
Thanks for you kind words. I am planning on visiting Bangalore, India during summer of 2008. We usually do a couple of seva’s in the Rayara Matta when we visit there. So, I am planning to take pictures and do a major writeup about the food.
Since I have your email, I will definitely keep you posted as soon I update these recipes.
Thanks again.

Greetings to you mam for building such a wonderful site.I am Sachin.Chhappar(BE) from Belgaum, Karnataka and I am writing this letter on behalf of Raghavendra Seva Samiti, Belgaum. Mam, we are building a RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY MUTT and MUKHYA PRANA DEVASTHANA in the area given by the GOVT OF KARNATAKA. This allocation of area itself took more 13 years of struggle, because of the political conditions prevailing here. Now we have the land , but there are some huge financial crisis. In a small city like Belgaum, collecting a huge amount for the construction is just seeming impossible. So it struck to my mind that Brahmins outside India could lend a helping hand and help in strengthening our community. The prevailing political situations here are not in favor of our community and I fear that the area allotted to us will be superseded by the Govt if we don’t act at the earliest. So mam, I sincerely request you to donate some funds towards this social cause. I am the President of RAGHUKULA YUVAKA SANGHA, which is working with the Samiti for this social cause. Mam if you are interested in donating then please do reply to this mail. I will send you the details of the property and the total cost estimated for this purpose once I receive a positive reply from you. Hope to receive your mail at the earliest. my mail id is chhapparsachin@gmail.com and my contact no is +919738484304

namaskaraa,
first i should congratulate you for your effort. I really wonder, where do you get the time and will power to do all this. i find it so difficult to sit in front of gurugalu and do some prayer, but never been successful. Nevertheless my trust in gurugalu has never diminished. Now i am going through a phase change – from a phase of irresponsible rascal to responsible parent to responsible worker. I had the habit of taking drinks, smoking and watching porno. All the three have ruined my life. But by rayaru’s grace, today I have overcome all these addictions and ready to take on my actual responsibilities. And rayaru has been very graceful because inspite of being addicted with such dirty habits, he lifted me.
The nambike became strong when i was going through how people have been benefited by rayaru,s grace. thanks to your blog for reinforcing a faith which had died long back.
Mam you are doing a wonderful job. Please keep it rolling. Thanks a bunch and i sincerely believe that the day any body believes that gurugalu can bring a change in his/her life, it is bound to happen……..
Jai sri guru saarvabhoma…jai sree guru raghavendra….

Hi Meera,
Thought of sharing the lyrics of a beautiful song. Request to add it to your list.
Singers : Dr. Rajkumar Lyricist : Hatayogi Honnappa Nayakar Music : C Ashwath
ಅಮ್ಮನ ದರುಶನ ಆಗುವುದೆಂತು
ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನ ಬಾಗಿಲು ತೆರೆಯದ ಹೊರತು ||ಆ||
ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಆಗದು ದಿವ್ಯ ದರುಶನ
ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಪಡೆದು ಬಾ ಯೋಗಿಯ ಜನ್ಮ
ಹುಮ್ಮಸದಿಂದಲಿ ಪಳಗಿಸಿ ಪ್ರಾಣಾ ||ಆ||
ಮಣ್ಣಿನ ದೇಹದ ಸಣ್ಣ ಗುಡಿಯಲಿ
ಬೆನ್ನಿನ ಮಣಿಗಳ ಮೂಲದೊಳಡಗಿ
ಸೊನ್ನೆಯ ತೆರದಲಿ ಸುರುಳಿಯ ಸುತ್ತಿ
ಬಣ್ಣದ ಮುತ್ತಿನ ಕೋಟೆಯ ಕಟ್ಟಿ
ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಕಾಣದೆ ಮಲಗಿಹಳಲ್ಲಿ ||ಆ||
ವಿಶ್ವದ ಶಕ್ತಿಯ ಸತ್ವವ ನುಂಗಿ
ಶಾಶ್ವತ ಳಾಗಿಹ ಈ ಕುಂಡಲಿನಿ
ಸ್ವಯಂಬು ಲಿಂಗನ ಸುತ್ತಿ ಭುಜನ್ಗಿ
ಆಲಿಸೆ ಆ ಓಂ……….
ಆಲಿಸೆ ಆ ಓಂ ಕಾರದ ಪುಂಗಿ
ಮೈಮರೆತಿಹಳಹ ಭಾವತರಂಗಿ ||ಆ||
ಕೇಳಿಸಿತೆಳಿದು ಭ್ರು0ಗ ನಿನಾದ
ಕೈ ಬಿಡು ಕಟ್ಟಿದ ವಾದ ವಿವಾದ
ನೆಲೆ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿದೆ ನ0ದಾ ದೀಪ
ಮೆಲ್ಮನೆಯೊಳಗಿದೆ ಚಿನ್ಮಯರೂಪ
ಇದನರಿತವನೆ ಶಿವನ ಸ್ವರೂಪ ||ಆ||
ಅನುದಿನ ದೆeeಹದಿ ದ್ಧ್ಯಾನವ ಮಾಡಿ
ಅನುಭವದಿಂದಲಿ ಅರಿವಿನೊಳಾಡಿ
ಅನುದಿನ ದೆeeಹದಿ ದ್ಧ್ಯಾನವ ಮಾಡಿ
ಅನುಭವದಿಂದಲಿ ಅರಿವಿನೊಳಾಡಿ
ಎದ್ದರೆ ಮೇಲಕೆ ಅದೇ ಸಹಸ್ರಾರ
ಬಿದ್ದರೆ ಕೆಳಗಿದೆ ಈ ಸಂಸಾರ
ಸಿದ್ದಿ ಪಡೆದು ತಿಳಿ ಇದು ನಿಜ ಸಾರ ||ಆ|| ||ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನ||
